Topic Reading-Vol.1444-3/25/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Inside the secret world of accent training
Everyone has a different accent. Everyone talks differently. But when you work at a call center, you need to deal with anyone who calls in. And in many cases, those callers are expecting you to solve his or her problems. They aren’t always nice and friendly but you have to be. Sounds very challenging, doesn’t it?
Business Process Outsourcing, BPO, industry is growing in the Philippines and is already vital for the country’s economy and employment. Although the country has relatively high English literacy rate, English isn’t their native language. Those who work for call centers still have to deal with all sorts of callers, not just native speakers but also non-native English speakers whose pronunciation, intonation or accent are so distinctive.
Enjoy reading and learning about the other end of the phone line.
