M: Eh...you, you speak very good English, already, actually...
W: Thanks.
M: ...and...very...natural...And you, you say that you want to correct your pronunciation but...
W: Yep, yep...
M: But I feel...it’s, it’s very good. It sounds a little bit Australian...
W: Yep...
M: ...and so maybe because you have some contact with Australian people...
W: Um, um...
M: Ah...but it’s very good. I can understand perfectly what you’re saying...Actually your pronunciation is better than most of the other students that I meet.
W: Um...
M: Eh...also your vocabulary is good.
W: Um...
M: Oh, it’s obviously good. So...ah...you need to be...ah...I, I, well, I think, ah, you need to be realistic about what kinds of improvements...ah you need to make. Ah...I don’t think pronunciation should be a priority for you...
W: But it might, I might come across with some problems, com...communicative problems, with my lecturers from...the University of Sydney. I, I don’t know why but we just, we just..., we don’t quite understand each other...
M: Um...
W: When we are discussing problems...
M: Yeah, but...
W: So I think it might be my, my, my problem because they are native speakers...
M: Um...Um...
W: Just...
M: I think it’s more likely to be...eh...a, a problem of ah...ultimately, it’s a fluency problem...
W: Yeah...
M: But there, the reason is that you don’t have so much experience of discussing complex subjects...So it’s NOT your pronunciation...your pronunciation is fine...It’s the, the, the way that you use language to express your ideas...Ah, and also, you are not familiar with the way that native speakers would normally use to express their ideas...
W: So...so you mean that my spoken English is OK...but...it’s the, some other problems?
M: Um...Well, eh, I just mean that you need, need more practice...discussing things at a high level...You need...
W: Like casual talk or...?
M: Eh, yeah, casual talk...eh, but also I think eh...it, eh...discussing high level concepts...
W: What, what kind of...high level...concepts?
M: Such as...ah...the economy...or...philosophy...or...finance...or...
W: That’s very specific.
M: Yep...eh but it would give you more...eh more experience discussing eh...complex ideas...
W: Well, yes, yes, yes, I believe I want a kind of eh...professional course...
M: Yep...um...um...um...
W: ...especially set up for high level students...not general course for...you know...
M: Yeah, I know...
W: ...more than ten students at the same time...
M: Eh...Yes...Oh, oh, eh...the, the contents of the...or the level of the course...
W: Urn...
M: is a separate thing to how many students are in the course...
W: Oh, yeah, yeah...
M: Ah, all of our classes ah...have between twelve and sixteen students...
W: Twelve and sixteen?
M: Yeah, that’s right...So, ah...but that value...ah...doesn’t...I mean...we, we can still have very high level classes between twelve and sixteen students...
W: Um...Um, urn, um...
M: What I suggest is...you start off...studying this one...Real Talk 7...
W: Um...Um, um...
M: Cos that...this is the IELTS equivalent...
W: Um...Yep, yep...
M: That’s where you need to begin with...
W: Um...
M: and when you...studied this...
W: Um...
M: and then...after that...you could move on to Market Leader, which is...
W: Um...
M: .. .eh higher level again...
