EPSR is based in Sydney, why does it teach the American pronunciation?
A7: EPSR believes that currently, due to the prevalence and almost global popularity of American media, TV, Cinema and music, learners of English can more benefit from that large exposure to English and greatly improve their listening and speaking skills if they tune their mouth organs and ears to the American pronunciation. In addition, most learners in Sydney have plans to return to their countries where the American pronunciation is likely to be desirable and sometimes more easily understood. It is also to be noted that most urban Australia is quite familiar with the American accent again due to the pervasiveness of American media and drama almost all around the globe.
