When children learn to talk, they listen to and then imitate the models around them. Without any awareness, they have learnt the skills they need to express themselves effectively. The quality of expression depends on the quality of the models. CopyCat refers to the tendency of humans to imitate the behaviour of others.

Phonics teaches the basic sounds of vocal communication.
 
Many languages have sounds that do not occur in English and English has some sounds which may be new to other nationalities.

It is vital to teach all the basic sounds of the English language to students. Without these basics, conversation is always difficult. The way these sounds are pronounced also determines a speaker’s accent.

Correct pronunciation is necessary in order to be clearly understood and avoid communication problems. It is of no use majoring on grammar if pronunciation is not established first.

This Teachers Toolkit contains everything you need to confidently assess and teach pronunciation.

Watch the Presenter & Mimic the Sounds. This training can be done individually, in small groups or using an interactive whiteboard in a classroom environment. The use of a Windows PC computer is required (Desktop or Laptop)

This is an easier way to start teaching people to speak English. There is an enormous need internationally for 'Spoken English' training.  Most countries school systems already teach English grammar, reading and writing.
This kit meets the unmet requirements for pronunciation practice and conversation with a native English speaker.

This program can be used both by teachers with TESOL qualifications and by volunteer tutors.  It is easy to use and doesn't need any special training.  It can be a starting point or a remedial program for people who need to form new pronunciation habits.

The Mouth Gym CD's are also available separately, for resale to trainees as homework or as a "Takeaway Teacher".
