What to Expect in Sessions

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”ul-check”]Accent modification can be done in person or online. Sessions are 25-50 minutes in length and target specific areas to improve intelligibility and naturalness of spoken English. Following the session, the client is given homework to practice skills in between sessions. Targeted areas include:

• Segmentals- consonants and vowels
• Suprasegmentals- rate of speech, pausing, key words, syllable stress, word linking, intonation, voice and resonance
• Professional speaking- using humor and slang, body language, grammar, phone effectiveness, small talk, giving presentations
