EFFECTIVE WRITING
Business writing is all too often characterized by obtuseness, which clouds its intent. In business, you need to write clearly and concisely so that the reader can focus on the ideas you are communicating, rather than be distracted by poor grammar, careless punctuation, sloppy sentence structure, or murky organization. In this seminar, you will explore ways to quickly organize ideas, learn editing techniques, which strengthen your writing and modulate your tone, and brush up on punctuation and grammar.
EFFECTIVE WRITING FOR ESL PROFESSIONALS
As an ESL professional, you write with the added challenge of communicating your thoughts in a language not your own. In this seminar, you'll gain the confidence to express yourself in English and begin to stop worrying about "getting it right." Through clarifying your ideas, recognizing your own patterns of error, and practicing new strategies, your writing ability will improve.
GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY INTENSIVE
This seminar focuses on common errors in grammar, syntax, and word choice many non-native English speakers make. A grammar assessment prior to the workshop ensures that the exercises are tailored to your needs. The afternoon vocabulary session addresses ways to gain new vocabulary and supplies strategies for continued vocabulary development.
COACHING AND ONLINE EDITING
You will receive more individualized instruction during one-on-one coaching sessions. After an in-depth assessment of your writing and grammar skills, a plan is designed to maximize learning. Subsequent sessions can take place online, giving added flexibility. In addition, online coaching will encourage you to try new techniques and strategies to further develop your skills in all aspects of your writing.
Sometimes you just need to have it right, and right now! Online editing services are offered: in by 5 p.m.—out by 9 a.m. This quick turnaround time is essential in our busy lives! Comments to you about the changes made will allow you to apply this knowledge to future writing.
