English Language training for adults

Shaping Speech offers an inspired and expressive approach to learning a language.
The emphasis is on the active qualities of speaking, listening and pronunciation. Conversation on topics of particular interest to the client is encouraged to stimulate a comfortable, spontaneous and, above all, enjoyable discourse. The teaching of grammar is clear, simple and easy to remember. Learning a language should be a pleasurable experience.

My approach is creative, enthusiastic and rich in imagery – words paint pictures and pictures tell stories. We are all bearers of thoughts, ideas and stories powered by images. We use language to express and share the myriad colours of our lives, feelings and observations.
The training is especially applicable to professionals participating in conferences, meetings, workshops etc. conducted in the English language and/or those with a good passive knowledge of English. If you read the profusion of English language books available today without having to constantly refer to a dictionary, but when it comes to speaking, especially in public, the jaw tightens, the throat dries up and vocabulary is reduced to the repetition of a limited number of words blocking those that struggle to spring to mind, please get in touch.
