Email can often be the source of misunderstanding. This is often the result of tone and formality. This workshop will focus on how to address recipients of email, make requests, give orders and tasks and other actions in a professional manner. During the workshop we will look at samples of good and bad practice, look at how language can affect the tone of email and have the chance to put the learning into practice.
Attendees should already be able to converse in English at an intermediate or above level and will focus on email specific language.
