What is the focus of this course?
This online course, presented by the Communication Lab of the Language Centre, helps participants to become more effective communicators with a focus on written communication.
By producing high-quality written communication, you automatically contribute to the professional image of your business. This online course will assist you to improve your ability to communicate clearly and confidently.
• You will gain the skills to communicate purposefully and effectively in English.
• You will have the opportunity to write a range of clear, concise, and professional texts.
• Together we will explore language use, tone, sentence construction, clarity of purpose, audience needs and the writing process.
A certificate of competence will be awarded following the successful completion of this course.
Who should attend and what are the career benefits?
If your job requires you to do some writing every day and if language was not the main focus in your studies, then this course is for you. This short course is aimed at people who do not speak English as a first language, but who function in a predominantly English working environment.
To ensure optimal learning, we limit the number of participants. The live online sessions are complemented by online learning, and certain aspects of the course are assessed.
