English Accent Reduction
Accent Reduction programs for adults at Means Language Center located in Manhattan, New York.
At the Means Language Center we have developed an effective method for reducing accents in the English spoken by foreign professionals. We have led English Accent Reduction programs to employees at dozens of New York City companies, as well as to individuals who want to improve their English privately. Specifically, we have worked with professionals from Europe, Asia and South America to improve their articulation and accuracy in spoken English.
Our private programs are offered at your office (or home), with the goal of working around busy schedules to include classes at anytime. Based on the student profile the trainee fills out and the correspondence we have, the program will likely have the following concentrations:
- Improved overall fluency and confidence in spoken English
- Acquisition of specialized vocabulary and expressions in your field
- Improved delivery of English in presentations and meetings
Emphasis is placed on repeated patterns of error, with the objective of maximum improvement and habit formation in a short period of time. Attention will be paid to both fluency and accuracy. Our lessons are designed in a manner to make learning fun and effective.
All of our trainers are bilingual professionals, experienced teachers, and take pride in being able to make people feel comfortable about communicating professionally in a second language.
All of our programs are built around:
- Your needs and goals
- Your learning style
- Your preferred location
- Your schedule
All programs are offered as either:
