COURSE DESCRIPTION

Applied Communications teaches communication skills required for success in todays

workplace. This course combines academic studies from previous English courses, namely
literature, vocabulary and grammar, with hands-on practice of job-related communication skills.
This course will cover the literary and writing skills. Applied Communications offers a
practice, comprehensive approach to success in English with skills that are critical both at school
and on the job. Students will learn skills such as how to complete forms, write documents,
prepare presentations, create a portfolio, and they will be able to transfer these
skills in new situations. This year- long course will cover the grammatical and technical
aspects of writing along with the critical analysis of informative and literary readings.
