At a Tutor Coffee Hour on July 21, 2021, Kathy Nicholson made a presentation on Accent Modification for Learners. Many of our Learners have non-American accents which can sometimes cause Learners to be misunderstood or even dismissed by their listeners. While it is important that we teach our Learners that they should never be embarrassed or ashamed of their accents, it is also helpful to give them support if they wish to speak more like native-American speakers. Kathy gives ideas on how Tutors can support their Learners when they wish to modify their speech patterns.
