Pronunciation can affect your bottom line.
In today's global marketplace, the workforce is becoming more
diversified. Today's highly skilled workforce includes many non-native
English speakers. As a result, communication barriers may arise between
non-native and native English speakers. Many non-native speakers
understand grammar and vocabulary but have difficulty being
understood. We value diversity and appreciate differences, but at
times accented speech impedes effective communication.
Good speech is essential for effective communication. Business
presentations, teachers, telephone use, doctor-patient relationships,
employee-customer contacts are just a few examples where good speech is
essential. Difficulty understanding speech due to a foreign accent leads
to frustration and may have many economic consequences.
Hayer-Vuyk is committed to the improvement of accented
speech, emphasizing communication in the workplace, where non-native
English speakers experience the greatest difficulty.
Hayer-Vuyk analyzes American pronunciation and teaches
techniques for improvement. Mispronounced sounds, correct speech stress,
and rhythm will be emphasized.
