"Scripts in Accent Training for Conversational Fluency"
Again, thanks to everyone who attended our presentation. If you have not yet tried to incorporate this script activity into your training programs, we highly recommend it. The script is located in the RULES books and Medically Speaking RULES. Some of the advantages that we have found include:
-
Reinforces correct production of targeted pronunciation and intonation rules
-
Increases self-monitoring and self-correction of errors
-
Increases self-confidence
-
Improves non-verbal communication (eye contact, gestures, body language)
-
Improves public speaking skills
-
Provides before/after speech samples for students and managers
-
Enhances student's ability to comprehend conversational speech by other nonnative English speakers |
