Following this virtual workshop you will be able to:
- Understand the importance of written communication etiquette, using correct grammar and punctuation
- Know how to follow ‘Plain English’ guidelines of clarity and simple messages

- Use the correct titles, addresses and signatures – avoiding the common mistakes

We’ll look at the importance of using plain English, grammar and punctuation – and what it says about us. Then, using a series of short activities, you’ll be able to practise the lessons and useful tips we’ve covered. Finally, you’ll get the opportunity to critique a short email and identify corrections and improvements.
"I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I seen it."
