TO THE STUDENT: Pronunciation Is Your ”Carte de Visite.” Speak Your Mind in Confidence! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ~Dr. Alexander Obskov. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀ Professor of English Phonology. Congratulations! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀You are about to begin a fascinating American Accent Program (AAP). Learning English pronunciation is the essential skill you must have to communicate efficaciously in today's world market. The American Accent Program will improve your English speaking skills, enhance your self-confidence, and significantly increase your chances of success. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀When the students start learning English as a Second Language, they use pronunciation standards of their native language, speaking English. That creates an accent. There are many schools and classes which teach pronunciation all around the world; ⠀ ⠀ ⠀However, very few of them address the facial muscle training and sounds definition that helps you understand the difference between your native language and the language you learn - you will learn in this program. This is because many of the teachers who are providing English training do not know of these" language techniques." I have found the most efficient way to teach America Accent involving facial muscle training, sounds definition, sounds assimilation, and sounds blends. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀Some people call this type of training "Accent Reduction." I feel this is not entirely accurate. For me, it is the most important to keep students' diversity, identity, and personality; that's why I don't want to REDUCE anything that speaks about your culture, traditions, and customs. However, I am adding new options that help you speak with confidence.

I put the students in a partnership model of communicative teaching approach. This approach gives outstanding motivation to master English skills, promotes confidence in speaking English in everyday conversation. That's why a partnership model is the most effective way - involving the students/clients in communicative, educational activity with the professor. My twenty years of University teaching and private tutoring with Speakers of Other Languages have prepared me to focus on the students’ results, gives you more option to learn the language and use it freely in your everyday life, flourish in the English language competency, and gain useful marketable skills. I also teach such skills as: ✍️ creative WRITING ; 📚 help students understand English GRAMMAR; ⠀ 🗣 improve their SPEAKING skills; 👂 developing LISTENING skills; however, I focus on the American Accent training. Thanks for the privilege of your time and attention. I am looking forward to teaching you. Dr. Alexander Obskov.
