Course Description
In this intensive class, (offered once a month) students will get an assessment on their problem sounds and habits and learn techniques on how to correct their speech. Accent Reduction training helps non-native English speakers learn how to make the sounds correctly and improve their accent. In each language, we make different sounds; we have different stress patterns, rhythm, and intonation patterns. We actually move our tongue, our teeth and our jaw differently. Learning how to make these sounds correctly is a separate process from learning grammar and vocabulary of English. The training is fun, lively and intense. Lisa Jeffery teaches in a way that you will enjoy the process of reducing your accent and improving your articulation. We work on vowels, consonants, articulation, stress and intonation, word order, phrasing, and vocabulary. You will learn proven correction techniques and practice casual speaking, reading out loud and public speaking. The class offers a workbook and practice materials for you to practice at home.
