In professional writing, whether it’s business, academic or journalism, the goal is to convince. And in order to convince, it’s important that your readers actually understand what you are saying in the way in which you intended it. Yet, people find it notoriously difficult to evaluate their own writing in terms of readability, clarity, purpose and structure. We just don’t know, as a rule, how what we write comes across. Yet, it is enough to place yourself in the shoes of your reader in order to let your writing style evolve naturallly into the powerful and unique voice that is yours. This is true irrespective of the field in which you write, or your level of command of English.

In this course, we look at some of the basic expectations that readers of an English text have, and how these expectations shape understanding. We consider how such expectations work in your own writing, and we develop a personal style sheet that will make you aware both of the strengths of your writing style, and of the areas in which you might wish to create some change. The course is intense, collaborative, interactive and individual. Mostly though, it’s a lot of fun!

This course is aimed at students with a level of B2 according to the Common European Framework of Languages.

We offer courses to improve your writing skills for all your professional communication. During the intake, which is both written and oral, your learning goals will be determined. Duration and frequency of the course depend on the level and goals of the student. The main focus of the course lies on recognizing and developing your own personal style, and using your specific strengths throughout the writing process.

In the course you will be working on the style used in documents of your organisation, structures, vocabulary and commonly used phrases. The training will be based on your own material, such as letters, emails and reports. This hands-on approach ensures a visible improvement, directly applicable in real life.

For students whose partner is also interested in following a language course we have special partner fees. .

There are two possibilities:

• A 20% discount on a language course of your choice.  When you and your partner need to follow a separate language course because of differences in level or needs, or because different language is needed, we offer the possibility to choose any two programs and to receive 20% discount on the second language course.
• A special partner programme consisting of 30 hours for € 2.025,- per person. If you and your partner have shared language needs and are able to take a course together, we will make a partner program. This consists of a combined morning program and an individual afternoon program. This allows you to work on both shared and individual language needs. For this option, partners need to have a compatible level in the target language. This will be decided in a personal intake.
