Looking for Farsi speakers to participate in an English pronunciation study
I am looking for four Farsi speakers to participate in an informal study on pronunciation.  Participants will receive free English pronunciation training over eight weeks.  
 
 
Required background for participants:
 
-      Participants are adults whose primary language is Farsi.
 
-      Participants have a reliable internet connection, have a computer with a full-size screen, have a video camera, and have Skype installed.
 
-      Participants have an intermediate level of English (A2/B1).
 
-      Participants can hold simple English conversations about past, present, and future events in their lives.
 
-      Participants have never studied in an English-speaking country or in an English immersion program.
 
-      Participants have never worked in an English-speaking country or in an English-intensive environment such as a multinational company.
 
 
Participants agree to the following:
 
-      To allow short recordings of their speech.
-      To meet at the arranged times (two 45-minute lessons per week for eight weeks).
 
 
If you are interested and you meet the requirements, please send me an italki message of about ten sentences introducing yourself.

As briefly mentioned in my resume, I have been working in a 24-hour international English news channel, covering a wide range of world events. Among the main challenges one faces while working in such an environment is, undoubtedly, the pressure, deadlines, time management, team work, and the need to adapt to unexpected situations; those, I have learned and mastered.
