One
problem that most of the students face at universities is that they are not
able to understand the lectures because of the accented English of the professor. Students work hard
to score impressive grades in their course so that they don't struggle in choosing the career of their choice, but
when all the efforts fail, frustration starts increasing. Extra classes and
personal tuitions are also ineffective when the communication barrier is the
reason for poor performance.
The
universities make sure that such problems are addressed and students do not have to suffer, but this doesn't happen in all the cases. Most of
the universities don't have substitute teachers and the request made by the
ailing students fall on the deaf ears and the queries are left unanswered. The foreign- born teachers take
all the necessary steps to help the students in the class, but if the accent is
creating a problem, then the university has to take some concrete measures in
this situation.
We
often misunderstand that accent problem can be resolved by staying that
country. Without any professional training or guidance, it is very difficult to
combat with this problem. One way to fight this problem is to provide accentreduction training for all the foreign professors, so that students don't have
to risk their careers for lack of proper staff at the universities. A teacher
can make or break the career of students, but if by any means they fail to put
their thoughts or share their knowledge with the students, the loss will occur
at both the ends. The teacher will fail for not enlightening the students with
his knowledge and the child will face the consequences
in the future.
The
accent reduction classes can bring drastic improvement in these teachers in
just a few weeks. The regular session
with the accent reduction specialist will make them more confident about their
speech. They can give lectures confidently and can ask queries of the students more
effectively. The communication gap with the co-workers is also reduced with
such training programs.
