Business English and Professional Writing for Second Language Speakers
South Africa's workplaces are richly multilingual, and many skilled professionals work daily in English as an additional language. This course builds practical business English for emails, reports and everyday workplace writing, focusing on the grammar, tone and structures that cause the most confusion. The approach is supportive and practical, using real workplace documents rather than academic grammar drills.
