Bring linguistic expertise to your classroom with Juna’s certification.
In just 4 hours, take your students to the next level with our certification program.
Learning how to use Juna’s tools is quick and easy, and carries a huge reward - the expertise of trained linguistic experts at a fraction of the cost. This kind of coaching is no longer just for Hollywood actors - you can deliver expert guidance on rhythm, intonation and other aspects of pronunciation at the level your students need to move forward.
What is Juna?
An expert-designed digital textbook that can conform to existing curriculum and is tailored for teachers and students with no linguistic training.
An intelligibility-first approach that allows English language learners to focus on what is essential for them to get ahead at school and at work.
These graph on the left shows students’ level before using Juna, and the graph on the right is after. Students improved across the board, and lower level students (red and orange dots) improved the most.
Juna works and we can prove it.
