Importance of EPP
1. First impressions
• Pronunciation = the first & most important
thing that native speakers notice during a
conversation.
• Why do they think your English is good?
– Because of the difficult words we used? NO
– Because we used advanced grammar structures? NO
It is your PRONUNCIATION.
