Foreign Accent Reduction: Intermediate Level Classes

Our intermediate level accent reduction class is designed for people who have completed our basic level class.  (If you have never before taken an accent modification program, start with the basic level accent modification class.)

As with all our groups, the maximum size is 5 people.  That way, you will still receive a great deal of individualized attention.

You will continue to work on correct pronunciation of consonants and vowels in actual conversation. You will learn how to go up and down with your voice the way that English speakers do. You will learn to link your words, so that you sound smooth. The class has a rich variety of engaging learning activities, including reading aloud, conversation, practice of everyday phrases and expressions, role playing, and short speeches. There is a post-test after the intermediate class, so you will see your excellent progress! See the schedule below.

After the Intermediate class you’ll be able to:

• Speak consistently with noticeably clearer pronunciation in English at work and socially.
• Present yourself with confidence and communicate your ideas clearly in a variety of business and social situations.
• Hear the actual improvement in your English pronunciation!
• See the improvement between your pre-test and post-test: typically 50-75% fewer pronunciation errors.

What is included in the Intermediate class:

• 10 classes, each 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  (class size 5 maximum). 

• All practice materials, including audio CD’s.
• Individual post-test and recommendations for continued practice after the class!
