Advanced Accent Reduction Levels 2 & 3
Level 2 Accent Improvement is for individuals who have completed the Accent 1 program. We will help you to further improve American pronunciation, intonation, and professional presentation skills. This will include transferring your clear speech to social conversation. Accent 2 will polish the more difficult sounds which the client practiced in the Accent 1 program, but with increasing complexity. Some of our clients aspire to transition to supervisory or management roles, others wish to prepare for job interviews, and some may already be in a higher level executive position. Whether you work for a Fortune 500 company, start up, plan to begin a new job, or simply wish to improve conversation clarity for work or pleasure, AAT is here to help you achieve your communication goals.
The Accent 3 program offers ongoing client support for continued practice with pronunciation and applied conversation. Both programs address specific communication concerns. Clients who work in a corporate setting, for example, may request to work on executive communication skills. Some strive to speak more assertively with colleagues and customers. IT and sales professionals who plan to start their own consulting business often need help with forming scripts or power point presentations.
Finally, advanced accent training programs 2 and 3, will help expand clarity beyond the strong foundation established in the Accent 1 program. Clients often wish to work on pronunciation specific to their profession, whether it be in business, medicine, computer science, engineering, or another vocation. In addition, less noticeable sounds or areas which were not addressed in the first class, will be worked on in our advanced accent reduction programs. We also offer accent maintenance sessions, to make sure that the progress made in the first program will not be lost over time. Continuing to foster strong communication will potentially help advance your career, but perhaps more importantly, it will provide skills that promote success across a lifetime.
