 It is not easy for adult students of English to improve their pronunciation. Unlike children, adults often find it hard 
to change the way they speak. This is why adult students have more difficulties in developing speaking skills than children. 
First of all, don’t worry about not having a native-English accent. It’s more important to be able to speak clearly, so that 
people can understand you. Then there are several things that international students of English can do to improve their 
pronunciation and to learn English well. An English dictionary helps you a lot in that it shows you the phonetic 
pronunciation of every word, which part of the word is stressed. You can also join an English pronunciation class, or practise 
speaking and listening to native-English speakers as much as possible. Watching TV programmes in English is 
another good way of improving your pronunciation. Above all, the best way to improve your pronunciation is to learn 
English in an English-speaking country where you can learn the language as well as its culture.
