SYB 7-Week Accent Reduction
​Communication Skills Training Course

​The SYB 7-week accent reduction course is designed for individuals with a mild accent who want to reduce their accent and improve their language skills (grammar, vocabulary) and stressing and intonation skills. Because Speaking Your Best programs address all areas of communication, your goals can include any area of communication that you feel is impacting your spoken English at this time. 

This course should begin with an in-depth speech assessment conducted on Skype or Face Time, which takes approximately 45 minutes to one hour to complete.  During your evaluation, you will complete several speaking tasks, which will be used to pinpoint specific areas of strength and weakness in your communication skills.  This is also the time for you to indicate what your goals are, as Speaking Your Best wants you to master the skills most important for you as well!

Classes are held once a week for one hour, either on Skype or Face Time. Scheduling is flexible.  If you need to cancel a class because of a meeting or other obligation, re-schedule your class to a different day and time.  Just let your instructor know ahead of time.  All "no-show" classes count as a class.

Your course includes all practice materials and weekly email correspondence in between classes (text, audio, video).  In addition, you will also receive unlimited access to Speaking Your Best Online, Speaking Your Best's member area online where you will practice your new speaking skills.  Here you can also review other areas of English included, as well.

Examples of areas that may be addressed included, but are not limited to the following:   
  • pronunciation of accented sounds
  • using an appropriate speaking rate in all speaking situations
  • making your voice heard
  • mastery of basic grammar skills
  • American English stressing and intonation patterns
  • common American English expressions and idioms
  • social conversational skills: for example, making introductions, what to say to new people, active listening, making conversations (introducing topics, maintaining conversations, ending conversations)
  • facilitating a business conference call
  • speak concisely and directly
  • delivery of presentations
  • written language
  • management skills
  • how to speak tactfully and diplomatically
  • understanding the American culture in the workplace
  • leaving effective voicemails
