The Plain Language Approach to Writing (WRI003)

Who Should Attend:

All levels of staff who would like to develop effective written communication skills and apply a "plain language" approach to their writing.

Office Professionals Certificate Core Credit

Overview of the Workshop:

Language is our system for transporting ideas - for communicating our thoughts to others. But it's only a means to an end, not an end in itself. Communication doesn't take place until the information has been received and clearly understood. Learn the key strategies for talking to your reader using plain language so that your message is easy to read and understand.

This program will help you to develop the ability to...

  • avoid bulk and jargon that undermine your message
  • use plain language to create a personal connection with your reader
  • write powerful sentences
  • control paragraph length and create effective structure
  • format to make your information accessible
