Course Description
Does your accent hold you back? Attend this intensive workshop at FIU Kovens Center. These are not English classes; they focus on SPEECH, and speaking English well. 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.

Here's what the training offers:
• Individual diagnosis and counseling on your accent
• Learn to detect and hear your own mistakes & mispronunciation
• Identify your own trouble sounds, learn how to improve them
• Use the right stress and intonation patterns in English
• Incorporate the new sounds into your everyday speech
• Improve your confidence in meetings or on the telephone
• Pronounce your vowels correctly in English
• Articulate the consonants at the end of words
• Learn the 4 things you can do to improve your accent
