Ian Badger will be speaking at the IATEFL Poland teachers’ conference in Gdansk on 21 October on what makes for successful and unsuccessful written communication. Ian will refer to examples of everyday written exchanges (email and online chat) in current international business environments. Our learners may have a knowledge of ‘good’ English but this does not necessarily equip them for the ‘imperfect’ world of business writing. Ian will demonstrate that the ‘rules’ of clear written communication are fluid and that tolerance and flexibility are key to building good business relationships. |
