As the number of international students, faculty, and staff continues to increase, there is a rising demand for English communication skills. These two workshops, run by ALC Press Inc, cover how to quickly and effectively write emails in English.

The Basic workshop will focus on how to control the formality of your correspondences and the appropriate expressions when making requests. The Intermediate workshop tackles expressions which are difficult to translate and how to compose rejection emails. These workshops have been highly attended in past years. This year, they will be held online. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to enhance the quality of your English language emails.
