This course prepares learners to communicate in both oral and written discourses in the workplace. Through a series of theoretical discussions and practical exercises about the different genres in workplace writing, learners select the type of discourse that is most appropriate for the specific situation in the workplace. In exercises that simulate the workplace, learners will write business letters, memos, reports, official emails, project proposals, cover letters, and résumés. Learners will also create a professional-level oral presentation for persuasive or informative purposes. As part of this comprehensive overview, learners will learn that workplace communications are designed to achieve specific goals and outcomes within the organization. Note: Learners cannot receive credit for ENGL 100 if they have received credit for ENGL 204 and ENGL 229. 2025/10/20-2025/11/07 Lecture Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 01:00PM - 02:00PM, Room to be Announced
