At the very best, poor grammar can have ‘you’ be considered as being sloppy. At the worst, it can make you a laughing stock or be thought of as stupid. It is unfortunate, but many people still judge people’s competence on their written output because it is on record. A commercial enterprise can suffer in many areas because of this; efficiency, customer retention and reputation, to name a few.
‘Dramatic Grammatics’ has been designed to make the process of learning (or re-learning in some cases) grammar fun and user-friendly. The course uses the metaphor of theatre to teach the fundamental grammar needed to write well for business. Participants will learn how to improve business writing skills by understanding grammatical rules and where to apply them.
