Pronunciation / Elocution Lessons for English as a Second Language Speakers
– Individual and Corporate Packages
Because
Diversity @ Work believes that all people should have an equal
opportunity for employment success, we offer Elocution Lessons
so that you can gain a competitive advantage, both socially and
professionally.
If
you are unfamiliar with Elocution, here is a simple definition:
-
a
person’s manner of speaking or reading aloud in public:
The actor’s elocution is faultless.
-
the
study and practice of oral delivery, including the control of
both voice and gesture.
Taking
elocution lessons is right for you if you find that:
-
You
are not comfortable with English grammar and may be unsure how
and when to use it properly
-
It
is hard to pronounce words
-
You
have an accent which makes it hard for others to understand
what you are saying
The
reasons above can be very discouraging for someone who truly wants
to speak well. Especially so if one feels that their lack in skill
may be holding them back from their true potential.
In
addition to offering Elocution lessons to individuals, we would
like to extend our invitation to local companies, corporations
and organizations.
By
offering employees a credible and effective education in Elocution,
you can increase your company’s productivity.
Employees
can expect to learn:
-
How
to communicate more effectively through voice and gesture
-
How
to pronounce words more clearly
-
How
to give presentations as a second language learner
-
How to improve on presentations should your employees lack confidence
To
find out about our upcoming Elocution lessons or to learn more
