American Accent Training | English by the Hour

1. Welcome toEnglish By the Hour http://englishbythehour.com/

2. Who we are… We work exclusively with non-native speakers of American English. That could mean foreign-born professionals, but it might also be people born in the US of non-native speaking parents from other places. We have numerous clients from all regions of the world. We leverage our linguistic knowledge of how other languages affect your American English expression to help you gain the advantage of clarity, confidence, depth, and connection. Our seasoned coaching staff provides you with opportunities to explore what could work for you in a “safe space” where you can take risks, practice new approaches, and get immediate feedback that can transform your career options dramatically and help you grow personally and professionally.

3. Services By English by the Hour Coaching services provided by English by the Hour are focused, intense, and rigorous. The idea is to transition non-native speakers of American English in the Silicon Valley from accented speech to highly effective, communicative speech in 10 hours. If you are outside of the Silicon Valley or too busy to commit to personal coaching, there is another option! The customized self-study program is a complete system you can use at home or in the office. It includes a linguistic analysis of your speech, a customized weekly plan of action you can follow to achieve your goals, along with a workbook of exercises, audio files, and access to our online video library.

5. Courses A Word about MethodologyAll of the courses offered by English by the Hour are created for non-native speakers of English. They are 1-1 sessions with a Personal Coach designed to achieve results quickly and create transformational change using the 4 core areas of Communicative Competence: Grammatical, Discourse, Socio-linguistic, and Strategic. The materials are customized to match the individual’s needs, goals, and abilities. All of the courses are short, directed and to-the-point. The classes are focused on results and achievement. Theory is used but only as a segue to practice. All skills and techniques learned are practiced throughout the course. Courses are intended to empower participants to be successful rather than to rely on the instructor or other native speakers. For this reason, resources and techniques are emphasized so that the participant understands how to continue to progress after the course has ended. Courses are typically 10 sessions in length, one hour each, once per week for 10 weeks. The Advanced American Accent Acquisition Course is 5 sessions.
