Everyone speaks with an accent of sorts, but many a times it is imperative and even desirable to reduce the strength of that accent in favour of a more refined and a standard pronunciation. English speakers with foreign language influence often are unable to create the standard phonemes (sounds) of English or speak with English-standard stress, intonation or rhythm. This is because those sounds, stresses and intonation patterns may differ in their native language, leading to a strong accent or an accent heavily affected by the first language. Accent training (sometimes called Accent Neutralization) is the process of reducing the affect of regional or first-language influence on the pronunciation of English. This involves three steps: Recognition, Reproduction and Repetition. The proposed accent training programme APROPOS will help students build this recognition. First, sound awareness must be built. Oftentimes speakers don t even realize that they have an accent and are unable to hear the difference between their pronunciation and standard pronunciation. Once a person is able to recognize the different sounds, stress intonation patterns and rhythms of English, he or she is able to move to the next step, reproduction. Learners must be trained to move the muscles in their face and mouth in a different manner in order to reproduce the new sounds. Finally, learners will only retain the new patterns through large amounts of repetition, training themselves (and their mouths!) through constant drilling.
