As companies become more global, and face-to-face interaction is decreasing, people are becoming more reliant on writing to get their message across.  Whether it’s a research paper or company memo, the quality of writing has an impact on the way the writer is perceived.  Poor writing skills may cause a reader to judge the writer as less competent or less credible.  Can your students produce written documents that are direct, grammatically correct, and easy to read?  Do they understand the demands of standard business English?
