Ace Approach
If you wish to be an effective and confident communicator when using the English language, ACE Solutions can help!
Our programs address the areas of Spoken English and Listening Comprehension through improved pronunciation, clarity and confidence of speech. We target the personal or professional goals that will help you succeed at the converational level.
Programs are designed to increase your intelligibility when using the English language. An in-depth assessment of sound, word and sentence level abilities allows us to determine which elements of the English language you need to improve upon to make your Spoken English understandable to the listener.
At ACE, it is our belief that in order to pronounce the sounds of the English language correctly, you must FIRST be able to HEAR the sound correctly. In other words, if you are not hearing a sound or sound pattern correctly, you must train your ears before your mouth.
Researchers agree that once you can successfully identify (hear) the sound with at least 50% accuracy, you may then begin to train your mouth to correctly produce that sound.
ACE uses an auditory, visual and kinesthetic approach to English language learning.
We know that the simple “Listen and repeat after me” approach will not result in measureable or long lasting changes to one’s speech patterns. Our training is done with a specific result in mind. This can be a personal or professional goal-or both. Every class is aimed at meeting or exceeding those goals. We will not focus on uninteresting topics or features of the English language that are unnecessary for you to be successful.
Areas of pronunciation and comprehension are addressed systematically and efficiency using lessons and practice materials designed to promote carryover and generalization into real-world speaking situations.
Depending on your needs, your trainer will assist you with pronunciation, intonation, rate of speaking and/or voice projection. By learning the basic sounds and principles of North American English, you will have the tools needed to master even the most specialized, technical or scientific vocabulary.
To change the way you hear and speak the English language, takes hard work and dedication. Research and past comparisons have shown that clients who attend all instructional classes and practice consistently can expect to experience at least a 50% improvement in their foreign accent or regional dialect.
Such modifications cannot be done in the traditional classroom alone or by reading a textbook.
Language is interactive.
At ACE, we believe that language training sessions and language learning tools must be interactive too.
