Description

The Accent on Canadian English Pronunciation Assessment Kit ™ (ACE PAK) is a comprehensive and one of a kind tool for evaluating Canadian English pronunciation.

Assessment results are used to:

• Identify specific pronunciation patterns for each client.
• Assist clients in selecting personal pronunciation goals.
• Establish a baseline to objectively measure progress with pronunciation.
• Establish a baseline for self- perception of communication skills.
• Establish a baseline for comprehensibility by others.
• Customize pronunciation training based on individual or group needs.

The ACE PAK™ includes:

• ACE Assessment Overview (guidelines for administration & scoring)
• ACE Stimulus Manual (pictures & cards)
• Word Analysis Form
• Response Booklet (consonant, vowel and stress & intonation analyses)
• Comprehensibility Rating Scale
• Client Questionnaire (pre & post)
• Pronunciation Goals Summary Form

All forms are reproducible.

The comprehensive ACE PAK™ incorporates three measures to evaluate Canadian English pronunciation:

1. Objective measure of accuracy for sounds and stress and intonation patterns. Score obtained pre and post out of 200 points to measure progress.
2. Self-perception measured with client questionnaires pre and post training.
3. A comprehensibility rating scale is used pre and post as a subjective measure of how easily the client is understood.
