The presenter expressed the information and even the controversies on this topic with a positive and client-centered approach. He addressed this topic with years of experience and total respect for non-native speakers, focusing on improving intelligibility and naturalness of the person's speech rather than erasing the person's accent, as if it is deficient in some way.

I appreciate how this presentation talks about how accents can affect every aspect of a person's life in a non-native society and the importance of teaching accent reduction as a way of increasing intelligibility in the non-native language to promote linguistic diversity as compared to linguisty discrimination.

The presenter indicated that accent modification does not work on accent but works on phonology. It was also interesting to learn that accent modification should focus on the client and effective communication skills. Speaking with an accent can impact communication, identity, career, relationships, and participation in society.

Appreciated the examples and input from clients and liked hearing the continued debate on appropriateness of providing this service. I believe SLPs are highly qualified and should be in this space, but should be less focused on just providing an elected service but on more on what is best for each client and circumstance. We are not here to take anything away from people, just to improve their confidence and ability to communicate clearly with others.

I helped me sort out some of my own feelings about the practice, and realize that I have been asking my clients the right questions and focusing on the right goals. I am also intrigued by the idea of listener training for university students. I had a great advantage over other students in my grad program because my husband and many of my friends are Indian, so I could understand our audiology professor. Informal training but it helped!

Great AND Necessary content! Thank you! We are seemingly aware of living in a diversified country yet with an often limited acceptance of our differences (overall). It is my hope that each and every individual be able to listen and speak to another simply because they can; without any accompanying unkind thoughts, beliefs or judgements. We are a people of one world and we have one voice; no matter how it is spoken. Thank you again for offering this content on SpeechPathology.com

The presenter was engaging and provided information in a way that was easy to understand the point he was trying to get across. Very helpful insight into this complex topic. Something that might have helped bring the full picture into light would have been to have had some examples of some of the techniques used during an accent modification session. This might help better understand how someone’s accent is able to be preserved but with phonological intervention implemented.
