In our Language Lab (formerly Pronunciation & Grammar Lab), our mission is to equip clients with tools and strategies that will help them clearly express themselves in any speaking situation when they are using English. We focus on adding to their sound and intonation inventory rather than “fixing” or “reducing” their accent. We celebrate and honor our clients and respect their desire to maintain their heritage and identity while helping them thrive with their academic English.
Our Study Lounge provides multilingual students with a place on campus to study in a relaxed setting, make progress on assignments, and join a community of learners.
"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery." ~ Amy Chua
