Introduction

Effective language skills are critical yet many people, including those who are fluent on the spoken register, experience anxiety and lack of confidence when they approach written communication.

Written English requires knowledge of and facility with a number of fundamental skills that are then negotiated to produce effective, error-free written communication.

This two-day course will address directly the anxieties that arise when faced with writing tasks. It aims, ultimately, to improve writing skills and, in so doing, increase participants’ confidence in approaching the written register.
