How to Improve Professional Writing Skills: The Nine Most
important Grammar and Editing Tips
<http://www2.ucar.edu/staffnotes/daily/announcements#4014>
Dr. Antonia Johnson from Clear Talk Mastery will present a 1.5-hour
workshop on "How to Improve Pressional Writing Skills: The Nine Most
Important Grammar and Editing Tips" on Friday, March 11, 2011,
11:30am-1:00pm, at FL2-1001.
Of all the hundreds of things to do to improve writing, which are the
most important for a person with English as a second language? The
workshop will tell the answer. Dr. Antonia Johnson will describe the six
naked grammar rules. Violate any one of these rules, and the mistake
leaps out at the reader or listener just as if you were to walk out of
your home naked. Dr. Johnson will identify the best editing tips for ESL
and all writers. Lastly, she will reveal the simple secrets for optimal
proofreading: what you should look for and how to find mistakes. This
view of critical grammar rules and editing tips comes from expert
opinion; Dr. Johnson's experience and interviews with 500 technical or
scientific ESL individuals from 57 countries and 58 first languages (and
their bosses and colleagues); and recent interviews with NCAR/UCAR
scientists.
