Accreditation

For EFL Teachers

As a speaker of mainstream English

Offer proof to students and employers that you can speak really English with mainstream British or American pronunciation by taking a S4-based test. The candidate reads a standard passage, speech is recorded and transcribed into S4. This is compared to a standard transcription and any differences are identified. This is an objective manner of establishing the candidate’s pronunciation. If the candidate passes the test, credentials are shown on the S4phonetics website.
