New Accent Reduction Program Open Doors for Non-Native Speakers in the U.S.
Clear voice, clear path. Intonetic announces a brand-new course offering Accent Reduction Classes for non-native English speakers in the United States.
United States – August 9, 2024 —
In an effort to bridge communication gaps and foster inclusivity, Intonetic – a leader in language and accent reduction training – is thrilled to announce its newest course. The course provides Accent Reduction Classes tailored specifically for all non-native English speakers living in the US. It’s a unique initiative born out of growing evidence indicating the negative impact accents can have on foreign nationals and their personal/professional opportunities in the country.
Addressing The Challenges Of Accent Bias
Countless studies have uncovered a growing trend of “accent bias” for non-native speakers in the United States. Countless challenges face these individuals and can lead to problems relating to job prospects or simple social interactions. One key study from the University of Chicago unveiled that foreign accents can make speakers seem less truthful – not due to the content of their statements, but because the listener struggles to understand the accent.
It’s one of many bodies of research proving the barriers placed in front of non-native speakers, and another from Syracuse University News shows that accent discrimination is a potent yet often overlooked source of social bias. It impacts an individual’s ability to integrate fully into their communities and workplaces.
In other words, having a foreign accent can make it harder for someone to settle in or find work. Accent bias is real and becoming increasingly worse due to the current social client. The need for clearer dictation and accent reduction is greater now than ever before.
Equipping Non-Native Speakers With The Tools They Need
Intonetic’s new program will equip non-native speakers with the tools required to speak clearly and confidently. This reduces their accents and can undo accent bias, increasing the individual’s potential to succeed in a competitive environment.
Nikola – the Founder of Intonetic Speech Improvement Services – stated “Our goal is to not only enhance clarity in communication but also to empower our students by improving their confidence in professional and everyday settings.”
The full course is designed by expert linguists and speech pathologists who employ evidence-based teaching methods proven to be effective in accent modification. It addresses all the common issues – such as pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm – which are crucial for clear and effective communication.
Enrollment in the new course is now open and classes are available online to accommodate a range of needs and schedules. Intonetic is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment where all participants can thrive.
