Our Methodology At Alaap, our ambition is to create an innovative learning environment that places great emphasis on the practical application of instruction. Our products have been developed with assiduous research into the techniques involved in English voice and accent training. As a result, our approach departs from the traditional modes of learning that are unsuitable for the accent-related courses that we offer.
Our training tools and methods, outlined below, are participant-centered. They are well integrated into the course to complement its functional structure.
Flexible and Convenient Format A computer equipped with a pair of headphones, a microphone, a broadband connection and communication software such as Skype, which allows free PC-to-PC calls, enables Alaap's participants to have access to a world of learning.
We have consciously adopted this method of training, as the format is extremely flexible and designed to fit the schedules of busy professionals and students. In all of Alaap's courses, the participant has the prerogative to decide the time and days of his/ her training.
One-On-One Training Alaap treats its participants as individuals with unique learning requirements. We have therefore consciously departed from the classroom model of education and elected to impart instruction over the Internet and maximize the advantages of using the online medium.
Each course participant is allotted a personal trainer, who regulates participant-trainer dynamics in tandem with the participant's definitive voice and accent necessities. Trainers and participants are able to strike a comfortable working rapport. Our trainers take every effort to make our participants feel completely at ease and encourage them to make best use of their expertise.
The highly personalized nature of the interactions enables even the most reticent of participants to speak without inhibition or embarrassment. Our trainers are empathetic and attentive to the unique shortcomings of each participant. Working together, they customize the content of the courses to ensure that each one-hour session is tailored to satisfy the individual learning requirements of our participants.
The Internet-based format allows for our courses to be conducted at the participant's convenience in terms of time and location. Learning in this setting, without hindrances and distractions, has been proven to aid the development of fine speech.
Customized Interactions The introductory components of the Alaap Basic Course are designed to impart primary English voice and accent skills, which lay the bedrock for further training.
As the course progresses, our trainers identify the unique weaknesses and strengths of the participant. Further sessions focus on correcting these weaknesses. This renders the course flexible and accommodating. Further, it ensures that the participant reaps maximum benefit as the course is completely customized to his/ her specific challenges.
Alaap's Expertise Alaap's comprehensive courses are backed by an expert team of trainers, who enshrine the continuity of our assurance of quality service.
Our trainers have mastered and applied the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) extensively. They have successfully trained numerous batches of executives and students, who have gone on to forge successful careers in business relations, hospitality, education, technical support, financial process management and other communication-intensive and business-critical streams. Their experience has conditioned our trainers to pay special attention to the generic influences of regional dialects and mother tongue, which have a significant impact on English enunciation. Enabling participants to overcome these influences and acquire a globally accepted English accent is our team's objective.
Focused Accent Training for Non-English Speakers Alaap's trainers are cognizant of the specific needs of participants from non-English speaking cultures. They bring a personalized, customized approach to accent instruction focused on addressing every participant's unique weaknesses and building on their strengths.
At Alaap, our accent is on winning. What this means for our patrons and participants is that they can look forward to specialized products from us in the future to address specific aspects of accent training.
