Salient Grammar
This fast-paced, 1.5-day seminar is designed to help people in business accomplish two objectives:
- Acquire the skills that underlie effective writing & editing. An understanding of sentence mechanics can mean the difference between a reading experience that's difficult and irritating and one that's effortless and pleasurable. For this reason, at many of our client companies, Salient Grammar is a prerequisite for Salient writing training—even for audiences of professional writers and editors.
- Handle all writing in a professional manner. Nothing undermines the reading experience like errors of grammar, usage, or punctuation. Equally important is the effect on the credibility of both the writer and the company he or she works for.
A closer look
Salient Grammar throws out academic approaches to the subject and starts with a clean slate, addressing the rules and principles that people in business actually need to know.
Key features of the program:
- Engaging delivery. The seminar uses team competition—in the form of a grammar game show—to challenge employees and keep them engaged.
- Off-the-shelf & customized. This program can be customized to support your corporate or divisional style guide. It can also be tailored to address usage issues that routinely crop up in your industry.
- (Optional) Easy-to-use reference. We recommend that each participant receive a copy of the trade paperback Grammar for Smart People—one of the most practical and easy-to-use reference guides in the market today.
