When I started designing this course  back in August 2018 I never dreamed it would one day evolve into this.  Originally, I created the cards myself using CC0 images from Pixabay, I used old dialogues from the famous How Now Brown Cow, and my handouts were rather  plain and amateur. 

Having tested and used my materials extensively, in January 2020 I decided it was time to turn this course into something truly great, something that would make me proud and, most of all, something that would help other teachers in their classes, not just me.

I hired a graphic designer (and English teacher, by the way)  - Hi Asia! - to draw my cards, and together we created 120 images to practice three groups of sounds that are problematic for students: voiced and voiceless /th/, /I/ vs /i:/, and /ae/ vs /e/. 

Then I wrote 6 dialogue scenarios - tongue twisters - to practice the sounds above.  

Throughout my teaching career I've never found identical listening materiaIs that would be recorded in different varieties of English.  I've always wanted to be given a choice that is why, in my course, I decided to hire British and American speakers to record the dialogues.  

You, the teacher, will be able to choose whether you want the Standard American English accent or the Standard British accent. In future editions I would also like to add Irish English, Scottish English, Australian English and Non-native English into the mix.

That's not all! All dialogues are recorded in two levels which means you can  use these materials with lower level students as well.

That is still not all! What has always frustrated me with listening materials was the inability to listen to specific lines of dialogue with ease. I would always have to rewind the track, look for the exact second when someone said something, waste time, and annoy the students in the process. 

Guess what! In this course each line of conversation from the higher level has also been prepared for you as a separate file. This means that if you want to drill a specific fragment of the conversation or focus on connected speech,  you can simply play that file from the list.

Next, I created a treasure trove of handouts to help you teach all the problematic sounds; to make it fun for the students, to show them that studying this aspect of language can be edutaining as well!  

Everything is ready-made! All you need to do is read the 4 ebooks (circa 150 pages)  and you can rock!

Unfortunately, the materials available on the market for teaching pronunciation are rather poor. There is also a lot of supplementing that one must do, even if they find something worthwhile.  I want to change that! I want to give you a comprehensive, complete collection of materials that you can simply print and use in your classroom!

I also think there is not enough pronunciation being taught at schools. Students graduate, go abroad, and start panicking because they realize they cannot communicate properly. 

We need to change that! We need to show that learning correct, natural pronunciation can be fun, entertaining, and, most of all, educational. I truly believe that my "new baby", my biggest project yet will help you achieve just that!
