Writing skills

Make an impact

A lot of your daily business communication is probably written: email, presentation slides, social media and so on. Occasionally, you might use a copywriter or a proofreader, but you can’t do that for everything. So, it’s very important to be able to write well. And it’s more challenging in a second language.

Practice makes (almost) perfect

Learn the importance of structure, the nuances of punctuation and the finer points of English grammar. Recognise and be able to use the different styles required in different contexts, such as formal and casual. Get lots of practice and personal feedback to accelerate your learning and help you become a better writer.

Invest in your future

You don’t have to be perfect. You do have to be clear and understandable. Good writing will boost your career, because it makes you look more professional. Take the time to learn, correct habitual errors, and use your writing to communicate better.
