"I was very happy with the results!"
If English is not your first language, the University Center for Language and Literacy offers a special speech-language program to help you feel more comfortable and confident when conversing in English.
Our certified Speech and Language Pathologists use techniques technically known as accent modification to help non-native speakers feel more at home in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation or taking notes in a class with a native speaker with a fast cadence. The goal of the program is not to eliminate the accents of our clients, but to enhance communication skills for greater confidence in any setting.
Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction, facilitated by a Speech and Language Pathologist.
Sessions run throughout the year, typically aligned with the University of Michigan semester schedule.
