Grammar for better English: A free workshop for adults

Hello! My next Grammar workshop is online. It is happening this December.

Please note: There are no seats available for the 13 Oct or 14 Oct workshops.  

Why have a workshop on grammar? 

Do you want to write emails that are easily understood? Do you want to write reports that are grammatically error-free? And do you want to make more effective presentations at work?

If you answer yes to these questions, then improving your grammar would be the right place to start. A strong foundation in grammar will allow you to express yourself more precisely, concisely, and effectively. It’s as simple as that!

Who is the trainer? 

As a corporate trainer in Delhi NCR for six years, I have conducted business grammar, email writing, and presentation skills courses and workshops at institutions, MNCs, and Indian companies.

I’m interested in creative writing and have written a book Q and the Magic of Grammar. And the next book is Common Indian Errors in Business English. It should be out in a few months.

Who is this for? 

This training is for people who are reasonably fluent at English, but who are making errors in grammar. It is for people who would like to improve their communication skills.

Here’s a short test. If you can correctly answer these three questions correctly, then you are at the right level for this training programme.

Fill in the blanks with the correct tense of the verb in brackets.

1. Yesterday, I _________ my clients. (to meet)
2. Nowadays, she ____________ the marketing team in Noida. (to manage)
3. When we visited Mumbai, we didn’t ________ to the showroom. (to go)

Scroll all the way down for the answers.

If you have any questions about the level of this course, email me at: amalfabian@yahoo.com.

What grammar points will be covered? 

I intend to review the common grammatical errors of Indian speakers. So, I urge you to mentally prepare yourself; we’re going to cover a lot of territory.

We’ll  look at: errors in the use of tense, the use of the article (a, an, the, zero article), use of prepositions, and uncountable nouns (is it etiquette or etiquettes?) .

Of course, we’ll have some time where you can ask my anything about grammar and language learning in general.

Where? 

The venue is the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. Here is the exact venue:

“Willow Hall”

Habitat World, at India Habitat Centre,

Lodhi Road

New Delhi-110003

(Entry from gate number 3 on Vardhman Marg)

 

When? 

It is on the 13th of October. That’s a Saturday.  The day’s training session will be for six hours. (Don’t worry, there will be breaks!) The timings are: 9:30 am to 5:30 pm. Please be on time.

(Please note. There is a workshop on the 14th of October as well, but there are no seats available.) 

How many participants? 

There are limited seats. There will be a maximum of 20 participants.

How much? 

It is for free. There are no charges. Lunch and coffee/tea are complimentary.

Will there be future workshops on writing and speaking? 

This is the first in a series of workshops. Apart from grammar, I intend to conduct workshops on email writing and presentation skills.

What is the next step? 

If you are interested, please email to: amalfabian@yahoo.com confirming your participation.

As there are limited seats, please wait for a confirmation.
