Pronunciation I and II
The pronunciation course emphasizes the rhythm and intonation of the English language so as to maximize oral production as well as listening comprehension.
Both courses are offered in intensive schedules because what is most important is the student's participation in the class activities.

Each course lasts 18 days, the same as any other intensive course. Any student who has approved an intermediate 4 or higher is able to take this course. They will be able to take it simultaneously with their regular courses if they wish.
