Welcome to the Business Writing Course

The summer's looking like ending soon up here in the north, and it's time to start thinking about studying in the Swedish autumn! This is the course blog for the autumn 2009 Business Writing 8 hp course from Högskolan i Kalmar. This is where the course team will be posting new information about the course, and where you'll post your Warm-Up Tasks.

The course itself doesn't get underway until September 8th, so there's not much you can do yet. If you're reading this blog, you've probably already received a mail from me with the name of your Internet tutor on it, and the direct address to the course web site. What you can do right now is to visit the Business Pages on the course web site, and listen to the 'Welcome to the Course' podcast (via the course web site). Mail your tutor too with a little information about who you are and what you hope to get out of the course.

Let me finish by repeating an important principle on this course: the only stupid question is the one you don't ask! So if you have any questions, even at this stage, please don't hesitate to ask them. Your Internet tutor will field any specific question about business English, whilst I'll field all the technical and administrative ones (you can ask me about business English too, by the way).

We're looking forward to working with you this term.
