Our Business writing course aims to develop students' skills to write clear, concise, and effective emails, memos, letters, minutes and proposals, using the appropriate register, tone, language structure, and word choice.
Though businesses increasingly rely on technology, technological skills alone do not guarantee success in the workplace. You must still develop your ideas, express them clearly, and persuade others of their viability. This course offers effective strategies to sharpen your writing skills by structuring your ideas logically, exercising diplomacy in letters and reports, and shaping your arguments.
This course is designed to introduce students to the various types of business texts: minutes, letters, proposals, emails, memos and agendas. Students are introduced to strategies to tailor their writing to the audience and the purpose of the writing. In addition, students are exposed to different registers and more complex vocabulary.
By attending this ICL training course, delegates will be able to:
have an understanding of the contexts of business writing,
know how to plan and compose their business messages
have knowledge of frequent errors in English language usage to enable them to self-edit their writing
be able to use style appropriate to each context of the business writing, and
