English is not only the most spoken language in the world, it is the lingua franca of international business. It’s a commonplace for parties from different countries to enter into contracts in English, even if neither party is from an English-speaking country.
English is also the international language of travel. It is by far the most widely spoken second language in the world. Wherever we travel to, we have experienced international travellers communicating in English and as the international language of aviation, pilots and cabin crew all need to speak English.
“Lingua Franca (noun) - a language used for communication between groups of people who speak different languages”
"RP also refers to 'Oxford English' or 'BBC English'."
Pronunciation is a physical exercise and to learn a new language other than your native tongue requires re-training of the muscles we use to speak. This training is very specific in order for the learner to articulate accurately. Learning to speak a new language takes training, just like an athlete being trained for a specific sport, they will repeat the same training exercise daily in order to master their skill.
Pronunciation forms an essential component of language learning and teaching, Speech Etiquette follows the traditional choice to use RP as a model accent for learners to aim at.
“Pronunciation requires specific training to re-wire the brain & re-train the muscles we use to speak to create the correct sound when learning a new language.”
Received Pronunciation is the accent traditionally regarded as the standard for British English, and it has been associated with high social class. The word ‘received’ conveys its original meaning of ‘accepted’ or ‘approved’. RP is commonly described as the ‘British accent’ and is widely spoken in the south of England, and has most in common with the dialects of London, Oxford and Cambridge.
“Elocution (noun) - the art of careful public speaking, using clear pronunciation and good breathing to control the voice”
"Speaking is an art."
Elocution is the study of formal speaking in pronunciation, grammar, style, and tone as well as the idea and practice of effective speech and its forms.
Speaking is an art and it requires adequate training just like learning to play an instrument. Articulation is the foundation to speech clarity. This is guaranteed an investment that will continue to enrich you, an infinite ROI (Return On Investment). Never underestimate the power of speaking.
"One sound at a time!"
“Learn to walk before you run" meaning don't rush into doing things, learn the basics before trying to do something more advanced!
Intonation describes how the voice rises and falls in speech. The three main patterns of intonation in English are: falling intonation, rising intonation and fall-rise intonation.
Many non-native English speakers tend to speak English using the same intonation that they use when speaking in their native language. This is why when they speak, their delivery sounds strange and can be hard to understand.
