Issues and concerns that I had never thought of were discussed so that I am more aware of different attitudes regarding "accent reduction." This leads to a more inclusive attitude toward alternative opinions on "accent reduction."

Firstly, the speaker was very knowledgeable and motivating. His presentation was clear and well organized. The ideas were well presented and I found the topic interesting. I had taken an accent reduction (now more aptly called accent modification) course a lifetime ago. That course was very helpful as it had opened up my eyes to the work not only in pronunciation but in grammar/syntax that could be necessary for non-native speakers. This course focused on ethics. Fascinating! Thank you!

Excellent course in ethical considerations of accent moification. Well balanced discussion of critical points with ethical goal of client centered practice for effectiv communication, and promoting cross cultural interaction. Loved hearing the clients talk about the relational benefits they received from English language training. They should never be denied the importance of interacting effectively with English speakers as the go about their daily lives.

McKinney is both empathetic and firm. It's apparent he sometimes finds himself in an embattled position, but he has let that make him neither acquiescent nor strident. He does a great job of defending his position, and letting both clients and other providers voice their reasons for it as well. I appreciate that he took the time to draw connections with Critical Social Justice theory to show the premises that make the opposing view so inexplicable to his clients. He is right to challenge CSJ.
