Accent Reduction

Our Accent Reduction course are designed for those who want to improve their pronunciation, speak more clearly, and be better understood.

English Advantage distinguishes itself by helping clients recognize and find ways to change their speech habits with specific techniques and practice.  Rather than teach through imitation, which is not helpful by itself because it does not provide the critical feedback learners need to correct their speech, we help clients overcome faulty pronunciation habits by teaching them how to correct their errors.

Our courses include instruction in sentence intonation, word stress, pitch, problem consonant and vowel sounds, rhythm, vowel lengthening and reduction, linking and joining sounds, and pacing.  All clients take a diagnostic test to determine types of pronunciation error, and we provide detailed results to help them chart their progress throughout the course.
