Course Description	ie Spoken English (ie SE) courses aim to improve the spoken English and fluency of all learners of English from any level. The two courses in ie SE offered are:
		Foundation 1
		Foundation 2
	ie SE simplifies English into a phonetic language by using a special colour coding system. Vowels are coded red with a unique number (1 to 23) above them that identifies their sound. Consonants are coded blue and given a blue phonetic letter superscript when they are not phonetic. Silent letters are coded grey. This unique and patented codified system of numbers and colours allows the learner to quickly train themselves, at their own pace, to become a master of spoken English.

Who Should Attend?	ie SE is for students of any discipline and background who wish to improve their spoken English i.e.
		Young learners who can be beginners or non-beginners in learning English
		Adult learners who need English for work as well as everyday communication

Course Learning Objectives	ie SE is meant for those who wish to
		Improve their spoken English
		Build the confidence to use English

Course Outline	Learners will first attend a 3-day course of 24 contact hours to learn about the online system. The 3-day course will equip the learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate through the online system and maximize the benefits of the system. Work content will cover topics such as:
		Pronunciation of the basic sounds of English
		Pronunciation of complete individual words (from list of 1000 most commonly spoken words in English)
