1-2-1 COACHING
English is the language of the Internet, big business and world aviation. Britain, North America and other English-speaking countries are seen by many as desirable places to live and work. However, if you were not born and bred in these countries, mastery of acceptable spoken English can sometimes appear an almost insurmountable problem.
When things don’t work out
You may be one of those who arrive, full of hope and expectation, in an English-speaking country and eagerly apply for a position with an organization where a high standard of spoken English is required. But your hopes may be dashed because, in fact, you don’t possess the level of spoken English that your teachers in your native country have led you to believe you have.
What goes wrong
The difficulty arises where many entrants to the world of English speaking business have studied the language in their native land. There they have often been taught by those who have not been born and bred in England. The result is that, although a person may complete their English studies with a good understanding of basic English grammar and word usage, they haven’t learned the pronunciation, tones, tunes and rhythms that are the fundamentals of a truly English accent and delivery.
Remedial work
A small child, desiring to be understood by parents, siblings and carers, studiously copies their pronunciation, rhythm and tone. Thus, we grow up with the language, dialect and accent that are a careful reproduction of those closest to us during our formative years.
Method
The Academy of Communication’s unique Spoken English Program is based on helping clients make a physical shift in the positioning of their voice, from the familiar, learned place of their formative years to a more ‘English’ position. However, a person’s ‘accent’ is dictated not only by the positioning of their voice, but how they actually pronounce the 15 or so key sounds that constitute the ‘core’ element of spoken English words.
1-2-1 trainings are offered on-site or off-site in training rooms in central London, the City of London and major UK centers. Special individual coaching in spoken English can also be offered in key centers in the Middle East and the Gulf region.
