How an Online Accent Reduction Program Works

• 

  Initial Online Speech Evaluation

  The process begins by your being sent an email with a link to the initial speech evaluation. You fill out the question section and record yourself right on your computer. Once this is submitted, Derra Huxley will analyze the recording in depth.

• 

  Creating an Individualized Accent Reduction Program

  Derra then creates an individualized accent reduction program that will address all of the sounds that will be worked on to help improve intelligibility and reduce your accent. Improving pronunciation is the main focus, however, grammar and intonation can also be addressed.

• 

  The Typical Online Accent Reduction Course

  The typical accent reduction program consists of 13 one-hour classes, over a video conference call, once a week. You are provided with a manual and an online practice lab to practice your weekly assignments. At the 12th week, an online post evaluation is administered to measure the rate of improvement that you have accomplished.
