Your Clear Speech Pro
My name is Jacquelyn, but everyone calls me by my nickname, Jackie. I have spent many years working in English language acquisition and learner support, helping thousands of non-native speakers from diverse linguistic backgrounds in the U.S and abroad develop the skills needed to successfully fulfill their goal of speaking clear, confident, and effective English.
I decided to focus on clear speech training because I noticed that many non-native speakers, despite having achieved an intermediate to an advanced level in English, still had trouble with the correct pronunciation of difficult words and sounds, or in clearly articulating ideas. This was causing communication problems and preventing them from being understood. It was demotivating, making them shy to speak English, and causing them a lot of embarrassment.
I recognized that this was an area that is overlooked in English language courses. I wanted to fill that gap by helping these individuals to acquire the skills needed to successfully communicate in the English language. It is so rewarding when I see my program's participants use their newly acquired skills to communicate comfortably in social situations, go on to study in English at universities worldwide, find a great job, or become successful in any area of their lives, where speaking confident, clear, and effective English is a strong asset.
The ability to speak English clearly and confidently is an attainable goal. Let me show you how to achieve it.
Programs
The Clear Speech Program
The Clear Speech Program is designed for fluent adult non-native speakers of English who want to improve spoken clarity, confidence, and impact. It focuses on the key areas that will improve your pronunciation, articulation, and effectiveness.
This program focuses on intelligibility, rhythm, stress, and precise articulation. It is not accent elimination. Through expert diagnosis, targeted practice, and structured progress, you will learn to articulate more effectively and clearly, so your ideas are
understood the 1st time.
Our programs use Standard American English; however, we acknowledge that all comprehensible world varieties of the English language are valid.
Master spoken English
We will focus on these essential skills:
- use of vowels, rhythm, syllable stress, connection, and intonation
- recognition of the irregularities & varieties in international English
- positioning of your tongue and mouth to clearly produce English words or sounds
- modulation of volume, rate of speech, tone, and use of pauses
- Listening to and understanding varieties of English
The mastery of these important skills will result in the ability to speak English clearly, with an awareness of its linguistic differences and the oral modifications necessary to ensure effective communication.
Build your confidence
In addition to all the skills you will master, during The Clear Speech Program, you will be using language and materials that will build your active vocabulary to upgrade your overall English fluency and comprehension.
Listening and practicing the vocal patterns of the language will help raise your awareness of current challenges in your speech. This will encourage the modification of how you articulate ideas and produce certain words and sounds. Your ability to understand native speakers of other varieties of English will also improve.
You will begin to speak more clearly, effectively, and your confidence in your communication skills in English will grow tremendously.
English Oral Exam Preparation
Prepare for English Oral Exams. The two most competitive testing services for oral exams in English are the TOEFL iBT and IELTS. These exams are mandatory for non-native speakers seeking entrance into English- speaking colleges and universities around the world. I have extensive experience preparing students for both exams. Participants have successfully achieved or exceeded their target scores on the oral sections of both of these exams.
IELTS Oral Exam Program
Having worked for many years as an IELTS oral examiner, I know exactly what they are looking for on their oral exams. The structure of this exam requires responses that use the skills needed to build and expand on the ideas presented in each section. My program can help you to acquire these skills, so that you will organize and articulate your ideas confidently during the IELTS oral interview and achieve your best score.
TOEFL iBT Oral Exam Program
After preparing TOEFL iBT candidates for many years, I noticed that the most challenging part of the exam for most candidates is the speaking section. Acquiring the skills necessary to paraphrase academic topics effectively and provide organized, detailed responses in the allotted response time is essential to achieve an excellent score. These are key skills focused on in my program that will greatly improve your performance on this exam.
English Fluency Boost
Practice building your vocabulary and fluency with 'targeted' discussions.
When you want to take your English-speaking skills to the next level, targeted discussions focused on current events topics and specific themes will enrich your active vocabulary, and knowledge of important idiomatic language and expressions used when speaking English. They will also boost your confidence and fluency when articulating your ideas and expressing your opinion on a variety of challenging topics.
This practice is very effective for candidates who must discuss various topics on required English oral exams like TOEFL or IELTS to enter English-speaking universities.
