Business Writing for Localization

This course is designed to prepare students for professional communication in the workforce. We will look at different content-types such as proposal writing, process documentation, concise email creation, marketing copywriting/transcreation, creative writing, concise “brownbag” presentations, elevator pitches, and more. We will explore the different concepts of business writing: context, closure, decision, and action. Students will be able to identify and overcome written communication obstacles, barriers and failures such as perceptual, bias, cultural, language, and others. Topics are approached from the angle of Western business culture.
