The syllabus for a college-level speech course at California State University, Los Angeles, designed to help students of English as a second language bring their pronunciation closer to mainstream English is presented. While the primary focus is on pronunciation improvement, the course also provides functional communication practice. The students are about evenly distributed in engineering, business, and education majors, and speak over 16 native languages or dialects. Activities include cognitive learning techniques through instruction in the International Phonetic Alphabet and its use, communicative interaction techniques through interactive drills, exercises, and self-quizzes, and functional oral communication techniques through audience analysis, organization, and delivery practice for informative and persuasive speaking.
