  2. identify recurrent segmental and suprasegmental difficulties in learners\u2019 English pronunciation with different language backgrounds; and<\/li>\n
  3. understand possible remedies that may reduce or eliminate English pronunciation difficulties and raise awareness of the issues on achieving a native-like pronunciation or a comfortable, intelligible accent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
