Communicating in English
If a department or company has to start working in English, or needs to improve some aspect of its use of the language, this is the time to think about offering your staff a seminar or workshop.
You may want a one-hour seminar for a group of ten on the problems which arise when you speak "Swenglish," or a day’s course in how to write better emails or reports. We will also design a course specifically for your needs.
Some examples:
Don’t Speak Swenglish! (90 minutes)
Based on Gwyneth Olofsson's book, Everyone Makes Mistakes, we look at the way “first language interference” can cause problems, as well as the sorts of disasters which can arise if you mix up Swedish and English.
Writing in English - emails (2 hrs to half-day session)
Communicating via email is quick and simple, but it can also be a source of misunderstanding, especially if you are writing in a foreign language. Here you get concrete help in how to improve.
Writing in English – reports (2 hrs to half-day session)
This writing course is designed for people who are already writing a lot at work. It is intended to improve the accuracy of what you produce, extend your range, and eliminate as many mistakes as possible.
