English as spoken by educated people in India does not differ radically from native English in grammar and vocabulary, but in pronunciation, it is different from both British and American English.
This course is curated for the views of students in India who wish to improve their pronunciation in English and acquire the correct patterns of accents, rhythm, and intonation.
In aiming to achieve an efficient and proficient English speaker, it is quite necessary to understand the basic mechanism of speech production. In every region, however, there are people who have shaken off the gross features of regional accents and speak a more 'neutral' form of Indian English. It is also true that in every region there are good speakers of English and bad speakers of English, the terms 'good' and bad refer to the degrees of approximation to native English and Standard Indian English and also to qualities of clear, effective, and intelligible speech.
The standard pronunciation aimed at is based on accepting Indian usage modified in the direction of British Received Pronunciation (BRP) to attain international intelligibility.
