INTELLIGIBILITY ENHANCEMENT
Intelligibility Enhancement (also known as accent modification, accent reduction, or accent elimination) is a systematic approach for the non-native speaker of English. This service is not intended to diminish your cultural identity but rather to upskill your communication skills and impact. Coaching is provided individually and in groups and typically is offered in 4-week, 8-week and 12-week packages.
Accent Enhancement helps to improve speech intelligibility and expressiveness by focusing on:
- Pronunciation of consonant and vowel sounds
- Rhythm and syllable stress
- Word stress in a sentence to highlight important information
- Intonation and the melody of English
- Chunking idea & thought groups
- Linking your words to sound more natural
