I’m Director of UCL’s famous annual Summer Course in English Phonetics. This year we’re repeating the format with online and in-person modules. The five-day online module (August 11-15) can be taken from anywhere in the world as a self-contained course. For those who are able to travel to London, there is an optional second week (August 18-22) at University College London, to learn more and do further practice. It’s not recommended that the second week is taken alone: participants should have taken either the first online week or attended SCEP in a previous year.
SCEP comprises lectures covering English consonants, vowels and intonation, plus daily ear training and practical classes with experienced tutors to work on articulation. Our participants have come from countries including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, Ukraine and USA!
“It is a book I wish I had written myself – but I don’t think I would have been able to make such a good job of it”
– from the Foreword by J.C. Wells
