The course teaches simple guidelines on how to write effective correspondence in the English language. It is particularly suited to non-native speakers who find it difficult to create messages, without copying previous examples. The course focuses on the use of accurate Plain English where ‘making yourself understood’ is more important than impressing your reader with unfamiliar words and complex grammar. The course covers:
|

- Familiar Words and Grammar
- Good and Bad Habits
