Writing English for a global audience training course

In this practical activity-based course, attendees will gain the skills to quickly create more effective documents for a global audience with limited knowledge of English.

You learn how to:

		Write documents that will be clearly understood by non-native readers of English.
		Engineer your use of language to provide simple and readable documents for a global audience.
		Limit choice in word selection and grammar without losing meaning.
		Remove ambiguity and inconsistency from your documents.
		Enable swifter and easier translation of your documents.
		Improve understanding of your documents by summarising information in a way helpful to your readers and signalling to your reader with clear document design.

The course is practical and 'activity-based'. Throughout the course you perform extensive exercises to gain experience in the techniques taught. These can be customised to include exercises to deal with specific issues that your business wants to address.

Delegates receive instructor feedback on their writing during exercises. Each delegate is invited to bring a piece of writing that they would like to have reviewed.
