If you teach English in a corporate context, or are a writer looking to create bespoke materials for specific clients, this book is for you.
Drawing on twenty years of experience of writing language training materials for use in a corporate context, Evan Frendo explores the issues that are unique to corporate training. He starts with a guide to the kind of issues that writers/trainers need to discuss with the client at the beginning of a project and stresses the importance of understanding the particular needs and expectations of a company. He goes on to describe techniques for researching discourse practices within a company and he then shows how to interpret the data gathered, and feed it into the writing process.
With the help of practical tasks and case studies from projects he has been involved in, Evan Frendo provides an invaluable guide to producing corporate training materials that will teach the employees the English they need, and delight all the stakeholders.
This book forms part of the ELT Teacher 2 Writer training course. The course is designed to help you write better ELT materials, either for publication, or simply to improve the quality of your self-produced classroom materials.
How To Write Corporate Training Materials forms part of our How To Write Excellent ELT Materials: The ESP Series compendium.
