AMERICAN ACCENT AND PRONUNCIATION EXERCISES TO USE WITH YOUR STUDENTS
FREE PDF's: MY 5 MOST POPULAR PRACTICE SHEETS!
There's no singular perfect path or method for becoming an Accent or Pronunciation Instructor. Most of us learn by doing. And although you don't need to know EVERYTHING about accents and dialects to start teaching, you DO need to know a little about some of the most common concepts that you will be teaching your students.
To get you one step closer to becoming an accent or pronunciation expert, I'm sharing 5 of my most popular practice sheets. I use these exercises in almost every one of my training programs. They'll give you an idea of what to work on with your students and save you the hours and hours of research and effort required to create your own practice materials.

A Note from Jessica...
“I know how overwhelming it can feel when you are just starting to teach accents and pronunciation. There is so much to learn and you just are not sure where to begin.
To help you feel a little more prepared to take that leap and work with your first students, I’m sharing the practice sheets that I use most often with my own students. Even after 20+ years as an accent and dialect instructor, these are still the goals that I find myself including in almost all of my training programs."
