English Writing Skills (BCEWS)
"We put a writing skills tutor in your laptop."
How it works
- You install our specially crafted software on your computer and connect to the Internet.
- Your tutor makes contact and you receive your first learning activities.
- Learning activities range from short, guided exercises to longer, free-writing challenges. These longer case studies are flexible: you apply your own business experience to the writing assignment. Activities are relevant and interesting: you can find the same topics on popular MBA courses, so you improve your business knowledge, as well as your writing skills.
- You send your work to your tutor via the training software and the Internet when you have finished.
- Your tutor then evaluates and corrects your work, and gives you a wide variety of feedback, follow-up exercises, and support. This phase of the learning cycle is 100% tailored to your individual needs.
- With each assignment you repeat this cycle and build a customised bank of Language and Style Tips (LSTips). These help you during real-world writing assignments.
- When you have finished the programme, you keep the software and your personalised bank of knowledge.
In addition, HR and Training Managers can monitor progress in real time.
100% Individualised Feedback
A strength of our program is that you receive 100% individualised feedback from your personal writing skills tutor:
- Stay in constant contact and ask as many questions as you wish through the messaging system.
- You build a personalized bank of knowledge: Language and Style Tips (LSTips). You tutor creates your LSTips for your specific learning needs. Refer to LSTips whenever you are writing.
- Follow-Up Exercises (FX): Like LSTips, your tutor creates your FX only for your individual needs. You don't waste time doing generic exercises that don't help you improve.
