One of the goals of the Arizona Language Center¹s Pronunciation course is to focus on accent reduction.

Accent elimination as a goal, is a virtual impossibility:- therefore, students focus on reducing specific pronunciation challenges that have made it difficult for native English speakers to understand them.



Benefits of Accent Reduction Training:

·Enhanced interpersonal interaction
·Increased confidence in the speaker
·Increased potential for professional advancement
·Increased employee productivity and safety, including prevention
  of time-consuming (and potentially costly) misunderstandings in the work place
·Expanded business negotiations and opportunities
·Reduced client frustration due to communication inaccuracies

Benefits of Pronunciation Training

Many international professionals who have studied English for years may still have problems communicating effectively due to a lack of proper pronunciation.
Incorrect pronunciation can result in misunderstanding between customers and co-workers as well as time-consuming repetition.

Companies that choose to invest in their employees in the area of pronunciation and accent reduction, minimize time and productivity losses in the workplace.
The elimination of the potentially harmful effects of poor communication is the invaluable benefit of language training.
