Communicate in Spoken English with More Clarity, Ease, and Efficiency.

Speak Clearly and Confidently So That You Can Accomplish Your Goals in the Global Workplace.

This 3-week virtual English Pronunciation: Clear Speech Fundamentals course will equip you with the practice-smart tools & techniques, ongoing guidance, and targeted feedback that you need to efficiently improve your spoken English. We will concentrate on vocal production/projection, vowel enunciation, consonant articulation, syllable stress, and compound noun stress. By the end of this course, you will have a clearer understanding of what to adjust in your spoken English so that listeners of other language backgrounds can consistently understand your message.

What this virtual program includes:


Online Self-Study Materials

You will have access to an online training portal with four speech training modules. Each carefully-sequenced module includes:

  • Daily learn and practice pages
  • Downloadable pdf files
  • 3-5 minute video-recorded mini-lectures
  • Supplemental audio samples
  • Daily practice assignments (estimated completion time is 20-30 minutes per practice assignment)
  • Extra materials for extra practice (in case the assignments aren't enough)

LIVE Group Coaching Calls

Each week, we will meet for a 1-hour group coaching call by videoconference. The key objective is to cement the online training materials into spontaneous, real-time speech. During each action-packed call, we will

  • begin with a review of that week's speech training topic
  • address as many questions as possible
  • engage in a variety of practice activities.
  • break out into pairs or small groups so that each participant is able to receive targeted live feedback. 

Bonus: Two 1-on-1 Coaching Calls with Sarah Gallant, Course Creator & Facilitator

Sarah will schedule two intensive 20-minute coaching calls with each participant. Each call will give you additional targeted feedback while also helping to cement the core speech topics into your spontaneous spoken English.

Social proof: testimonials

“I have been extremely happy with CommuniClear Global's video call training. The lessons are engaging and well-structured with good online materials. I personally believe that they are quite unique and innovative. For me, it has been a big plus that I can attend the training sessions in the office, at home or during business trips, and the technology platform works well. After a few lessons, I saw real significant progress. Based on these successes, I decided to buy further (coaching) sessions with Sarah at CommuniClear because I would like to ride the momentum and strive for continuous improvements.”

Massimo, Director of New Ventures & Innovation, from Italy

“This program is an exceptional opportunity to improve your spoken English. You'll start with basic pronunciation but will go very deep quickly. Sarah strikes a good balance between fun and learning, so you'll have a lot of insight without getting bored at the sessions.”

Denys, IT Specialist, moved to U.S. from Ukraine

“Thanks to Sarah from CommuniClear Global, my English speaking skills have improved tremendously. Her techniques proved to be very effective and I could see (and hear) the difference very quickly. The program was designed well and although somewhat intense, it fit my work and family schedule perfectly. Sarah's assignments and feedback were excellent and I was able to apply what she taught me right away. I couldn't be happier with my choice of CommuniClear Global and Sarah.”

Malgorzata, Lawyer, moved to U.S. from Poland

“Sarah is one of the best because of not only her expertise in her area but more her rich experience to customize her programs for speakers with different language backgrounds.

I came to CommuniClear because I was aware that a good pronunciation is crucial to succeed in the legal profession. Sarah understood my concerns and gave me valuable material that have improved my spoken English. I definitely encourage anyone you take one of these courses with Sarah, it is a great investment!”

Maria, Foreign Attorney, move to U.S. from Colombia

“Sarah is a very skillful, patient, and flexible instructor. She builds a very good foundation in first couple of lessons for you to reduce your accent. Sarah uses her unique method to correct your pronunciation. I now immediately know what is wrong if I go back to my old way to speak. I see big improvement in speaking English. That is why I am going to continue working with her.”

Joni, IT Specialist, moved to U.S. from China

“Sarah, it has been really wonderful working with you. Thank you for all the hard work and great results so far! Your work with our team members located in India and the U.S. has been stellar. I'm very happy that you will continue to provide your services for us this upcoming year, and am looking forward to the new expansions to the program that we have discussed. Thanks Again!”

Neil Schauer, Senior Director in R&D

“Sarah was assigned to bridge the communication gap between my colleagues from India and other sites. From the very first telephone conversation (initial assessment) that she had with us, she understood what was needed and the course she designed was proof of that. The course and the follow-up assignments really made me aware of my communication/speaking skills and the gaps that required improvement. She was very supportive and helpful during her classes. Her hones feedback played an important role in improving my communication and I personally fell that she did an excellent job as our instructor and I thank her for that. ”

FAQ

  • Who are the other training participants?

    Our program is designed for: Advanced speakers of English who would like to be better understood in the workplace; Subject matter experts; Business executives; Leadership program participants; Academic professionals, and visiting scholars. Program participants may be of different language backgrounds. Sarah, the program facilitator, will make sure to address the core sound issues of each language group, both during the live coaching calls as well as in the online materials.

  • This online program is only three weeks and it’s virtual. Can I really improve my English pronunciation in three weeks?

    Yes. If you are an advanced-proficient speaker of English, commit to the carefully-sequenced daily practice materials, and attend the group & private coaching calls, you will develop a more controlled, clear, and confident sound in spoken English.

  • Is the goal of this program to modify or reduce my accent?

    Our overall objective is to help you communicate more effectively in spoken English with speakers of different language backgrounds. We address and work with specific speech features of the English sound system (i.e., sounds & rhythm) so that you are able to adjust your spoken English or accent with relative ease and efficiency.

  • How would you describe your training approach?

    Our carefully-structured spoken-English communication training programs serve both the analytical learner who sees value in breaking down the English sound system to better understand how it works and how it is different from their first (or second or third) language AND the kinesthetic learner who best absorbs this type of linguistic training via physical movement and real-life practice tasks, such public speaking, mock interviews, and spontaneous conversations.

  • What is the recommended time commitment for this course?

    In addition to the weekly 1-hour coaching sessions, we recommend planning on 20-45 minutes per day. Part of this time will be spent learning specific speech topics and the rest, on the controlled and free practice tasks.

  • I'd like to confirm that this program is right for me. Can I talk with someone before committing to this program?

    Yes, absolutely. Click on "Support" above to email Sarah and schedule a time to talk. [Email: [email protected]]

  • Do you have a refund policy?

    Yes. If you realize that this program isn't for you, e-mail Sarah by the end of the first day (December 3rd) and she will give you a 100% refund.
