The primary aim of this course is to improve students‘ written English in a variety of different business contexts (e.g. business letters, CVs, commercial translations), but this cannot be achieved without including the other language skills wherever relevant, i.e. reading (model texts, information sheets) as well as speaking and listening (group discussion, face-to-face interviews). A good command of the written language is often considered to be the most difficult skill to acquire in a foreign language: it requires time and effort, and, unlike the spoken language, one has to pay more attention to detail (grammatical accuracy, lexical appropriateness, correct spelling and suitable punctuation). Different types of text also require different styles of writing (informal emails v. formal business letters).
