Web-based One-on-One Individual ESL Tele-Coaching

ESL English Tele-Coaching is unique in that it removes visual stimuli. When the focus of instruction is strictly limited to sound production, we find that 'ear training' abilities become significantly enhanced. In addition, when an Internet Chat feature is introduced throughout the session, clients receive valuable information about grammatical and English written/spelling and pronunciation rules and exceptions. This instant text-based feedback is a tool to aid in strengthening and supporting the ESL English pronunciation training. Another great feature is that following every session, a digital transcript is immediately sent to the trainee to further assist in practicing the targeted sounds and inaccuracies.

Each ESL English pronunciation Tele-coaching session is a personalized accent reduction and ESL English pronunciation training class for one ESL participant with a PWC Certified Speech Language Pathologist. We target the specific needs and nuances of each ESL client's individual articulatory errors. During each session, we may also focus on work-related terminology, as well as any relevant projects and presentations the ESL trainees may currently be working on.

Assessments

Pronunciation Workshop® assessments are professional evaluations completed by our staff of ASHA certified Speech Language Pathologists. They provide both an overview of the ESL participant's overall vocal abilities as well as a roadmap for determining the verbal areas which require intervention. Participants will find assessments valuable in identifying the ESL speaker's articulatory weaknesses while receiving a prescription for corrective measures.

Pronunciation Workshop® assessments include a live interview with a Pronunciation Workshop® Speech Language Pathologist and specialist in accent reduction and ESL English. Interviews are conducted on-site or via our VoIP teleconferencing or video conferencing technologies.

An assessment details specific articulatory errors and verbal behaviors which impact communication. Our Complete Assessment includes a written phonemic inventory revealing specific speech errors and communicative habits which require particular attention. We are then able to provide a comprehensive report from a diagnostic vantage point to assess each ESL speaker's specific strengths, weaknesses and verbal skill level.

A learning plan is provided which will outline the corrective course to be taken to achieve success. Participants will be directed to study and practice specific sessions and elements within our course to target his or her ESL English pronunciation errors in the areas of: vowels, consonants, rhythm, stress, intonation, rate of speech, and vocal volume. This material will serve to help the ESL individual attain correct spontaneous production as well as long-term pronunciation mastery.
