| Introduction |
|
Speaking English well is as important as writing it well. Good speakers are not identified by their accent, but by the way they are aware of the subtleties of speech, the intricacies of language, and the quality of their voice.
“This programme has widened my knowledge of English and it will be
helpful in my presentation, as well as in my written work. Very good! ”
- Ms Yam Bee Kuan, Senior Manager, Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore
Having a grasp of good spoken English is not only important for speaking clearly; it is also necessary for speakers to better understand the English language that they hear.
