Module Six

Plain English enables you to get your meaning across clearly and concisely to your audience, with the necessary impact and the most suitable ‘tone of voice’. Whether you are writing conventional letters, reports or proposals, or using electronic media, the principles are the same. Plain English will enable you to convey the same message using fewer words, which enables the reader to grasp your message faster and, incidentally, uses less paper or electronic storage space.

By the end of the workshop, delegates will:

• Be able to write in a Plain English style in all documents
• Express ideas more clearly, concisely and interestingly to the reader
• Organise and structure information more effectively
• Be more aware of their writing style
• Learn some techniques on time management and personal effectiveness
• Overall, feel more confident about their ability to project a professional image of themselves and their organisation through their writing style.
