I appreciate that the speaker offered real voices of people who offer and receive accent modification services, and allowed discussion on both sides of the related issues. We are a helping profession. We should not be so committed to correcting how others are "supposed to feel" about something that we deny support to people who ask for it.

Firstly, the speaker was very knowledgeable and motivating. His presentation was clear and well organized. The ideas were well presented and I found the topic interesting. I had taken an accent reduction (now more aptly called accent modification) course a lifetime ago. That course was very helpful as it had opened up my eyes to the work not only in pronunciation but in grammar/syntax that could be necessary for non-native speakers. This course focused on ethics. Fascinating! Thank you!

I enjoyed his speaking style and rate of speech. Great slides about a topic that does not seem to be discussed often, but is perplexing when it does arise. Thank you.
