Be Heard! Be Understood! Workshop
Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 12:40AMClearly Speaking is offering this comprehensive and specialized training for those who want to improve their communication skills. Participants will be easily heard and easily understood by practicing the skills learned. They will learn how to express themselves more clearly, more concisely and more confidently.
Language and communication skills are the top barriers many non-native English speakers face whether they are employed or self-employed. If they are mispronouncing words, they could be misunderstood, ignored and earning less money. Studies show speaking fluent English with no degree is worth nine times more than having a degree but speaking English poorly.
Be Heard! Be Understood! is an intensive 4-week program covering communication, grammar, accent reduction, listening, organization of thought, vocabulary and pronunciation. The consonants that most non-native English speakers find challenging will also be covered.
Here are more details:
Number of sessions: 4
Each session: 3 hours
This program is designed to engage participants in the knowledge transfer so they can self-correct after the program ends. They will also have sufficient language fluency to confidently express themselves when speaking in any interaction. There will be 8 hours of self-study in between sessions.
