The basics of English writing

If you can’t write, you can’t succeed. Communication is the most important part of most jobs and much of it is done via email and memos. This course will be a boon to any English speaker (and writer!) who wants to learn how to communicate effectively.

The Basics of English Writing will first explain basic grammar concepts and then offer in-depth writing guidelines and tips.
