Accent Modification and Diction

Globalization demands excellent communication!



 Why should you take classes in communication skills? Increase your value to your employer, or plan for future career growth.  Be more comfortable talking to others, whether at work, when giving occasional speeches, or meeting new people for business or pleasure!

Tips on offering communication training to employees:
Most non-native employees who have difficulty in communicating are very aware of this fact. They just do not know how to improve their pronunciation! They are usually quite relieved to be offered training. When offering this training, explain that you are doing so because the employee is very important to the company, and you want to promote his or her career growth.

Some companies prefer to offer their employees a choice of several communications-related courses, such as pronunciation improvement or public speaking, and let the employees decide which course each person prefers to take. Other companies explain how the given employee's poor communication affects the company's operations, and ask him or her to take a specific class.
  
Intensive Pronunciation Training for Foreign-born Professionals:
Foreign-born professionals and executives coming from out of town, new H1B visa holders and others will receive three consecutive days of intensive, individualized instruction in American English pronunciation. This is a 24 hour class over 3 days plus two months' telephone skill maintenance follow-up.

This practical class is customized for the needs of the busy executive!

"Thank you very much for working with my employee. After only one session, I heard a really noticeable improvement in the rate and clarity of his English pronunciation. Your focus on work-related communication and individual assessment of speech needs certainly makes a difference! After ten months, his pronunciation remains improved. If I have other employees who would benefit from your services, I will contact you."
