Accent Modification Webinar

Lynda conducted a webinar to approximately 45 EFL teachers in Peru this past month. She taught them RULES for using the American Accent. They will be able to integrate these rules into their own speech patterns and in the classroom as they teach English as a Foreign Language. Contact Lynda for more information about webinars.  

 

Lynda and Marjorie will be designing more webinars on the RULES approach to Accent Modification. Let us know what you want to learn and we can customize a webinar for your setting.
