What Teachers are Saying

“I am completely in awe of this teaching tool and the techniques that have been presented so far. I plan to go all the way through Level 3 in the training. I thought the r-controlled vowel explanations were brilliant.”

Nancy Reynolds, ESL Instructor, TX

“I took this course last autumn and it was the best PD I've had in the field over the last 20 years! I was able to implement these ideas and materials the next day in class. When does that ever happen?! I recommend this course to any English language teacher - it's really that good!”

Christine Fiorite EdD, ESL Instructor, English Language Institute, University Of Chicago

“The Color Vowel® Approach has transformed my classroom by giving students a fun, engaging, easy to remember way to improve their pronunciation, both in the classroom and their everyday life. I use it every day. I can't imagine teaching without it!”

Ruth Voetmann, Intensive ESL Instructor and Department Chair, Edmonds College, WA

“I feel good about what this course has to offer. The discussions of moving vowels and R-controlled vowels are invaluable. The Color Vowel® Chart itself is a stroke of genius, or SEVERAL strokes of genius all in one organized template.”

Christine Kassover, Coordinator and Instructor, Intensive English Institute, Florida Atlantic University
