How Does Accent Reduction Class Help College Students?
Undergraduates
Undergraduate years can be a challenge. Moving away from home. Making new friends. Figuring out new study techniques that will allow you to excel in the more challenging academic environment. None of this comes easy.
And most of it can be more challenging if you have a strong accent. Especially the social scene.
We’ve heard from past clients about social invites being scarce and the general frustration with having to repeat themselves to peers. Making friends is a whole lot easier without a communication barrier. We recommend accent reduction classes to help you learn how to speak with a more neutral American accent. While in the undergrad years it is most helpful in social settings and with group projects, as you follow your academic career it will help in more ways than you can imagine.
Post-Grad
From graduate committee meetings, to becoming a teaching assistant, your post-graduate work relies heavily on oral communication. Much more so than undergraduate work. This transition into professional life prepares you for the business communication skills you will need in your career. To help you pursue your academic goals with less repetition and clearer understanding, we recommend accent reduction classes. If you find yourself repeating yourself, or being misunderstood, now is a great time to neutralize your accent for a long career with clear business communication skills.
How Does Accent Reduction Class Help Professors?
Not happy with remarks made on Rate My Professor? Is the feedback generally the same, that students are finding you difficult to understand? The knowledge you are sharing, the passion you have for teaching can all be lost if the students are finding it challenging to surmise what you are saying. Add a complicated new subject matter to the mix and it could be a recipe for disaster. If you’d like to have a bigger impact on the lives of students, accent reduction classes can help you achieve those goals through clearer communication.
