Guided, task-led lessons
At the start of the course, learners complete a short writing diagnostic and are then offered lessons appropriate to their level.
Each lesson begins with a realistic scenario that sets the context and learning aims. A sequence of activities then guides learners to plan, outline, and refine their text before producing a full piece of writing. Clear tips and model texts are provided before the final task.
The course structure allows learners to submit their writing to online tutors. Feedback covers task achievement, organisation, accuracy, range, and style. Learners may also share their work to a library to learn from peers.
Learning cycle
Lessons follow a systematic cycle: clarify context and objectives, practise and prepare, then complete a real-world writing task.
Content is broken into short modules so learners can start a lesson, take a break, and easily resume at any time.
- An initial diagnostic checks level to ensure an appropriate starting point.
- Each lesson is grounded in authentic, day-to-day business scenarios.
- The scenario sets clear objectives so learners know what their text needs to achieve.
- A clear training path supports planning, outlining, and polishing the final text.
- Writing can be submitted to tutors for targeted feedback on task achievement, organisation, accuracy, range, and style.
Business Writing lesson content can be adapted into short courses tailored to your syllabus and programme requirements.
