The Accent Expansion program is a nationally recognized program focusing on interactive, effective communication techniques with nonnative English speakers to improve their pronunciation and intonation of English. Participants take part in one or two sessions each week as individuals, pairs or in small groups with trained speech-language clinicians from the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences in the School of Health Professions.
