About this workshop
Teaching spoken English can be challenging. Color Vowel® makes it easy.

Why is intonation so fundamental?
A learner may not produce the unusually wide range of intonation used in English or may be unaware of the basic patterns that native speakers expect to hear. As a result, the learner may sound "monotone," or worse, uninterested in the conversation. Not using intonation correctly or not understanding the nuances of intonation may also cause miscommunications.
This workshop provides techniques and activities that you can use with learners of all ages and levels to help them master these fundamentals of English intonation.
