Do you think it's important to help students with their accent?

What do you think? I know it is somewhat controversial among teachers. My thoughts on it are in this article.

In academic EFL courses we had a lesson that tells us it is not impotant. Pronounciation is important part of English speaking but for students who are using English as a second language accent is not that much important.

Well, I don’t expect them to speak about politics or law in an American accent; but com’ on, at least, when they say – how are you- or what are you doing… pls sound bit like native :P
