I’m Director of UCL’s famous annual Summer Course in English Phonetics. This year, for the first time in over a century of SCEP history, we have a five-day online module which can be taken from anywhere in the world as a self-contained course, and a further five-day module live at University College London. SCEP comprises lectures covering English consonants, vowels and intonation, plus daily ear training and practical classes with experienced tutors to work on articulation. Our participants have come from countries including Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, Ukraine and USA!
“It is a book I wish I had written myself – but I don’t think I would have been able to make such a good job of it”
