Haptic uses movement and touch to anchor the correct mouth positions in the brain. My students learn how to say correct North American sounds through movement and touch, in order to improve their accent and no longer feel embarrassed by their English speech.

I was taught the Haptic techniques as a graduate student under the tutelage of Dr. Bill Acton, PhD, Director of the MA TESOL program at Trinity Western University.
For the past 40 years he has been an expert in the field of pronunciation, and founded the Acton Haptic Pronunciation System based on research on haptic movement and touch techniques in fixing pronunciation and reducing accent.
