Learn the principles of plain language to improve your written communications
What do informational documents such as flyers, letters, e-mails, instruction lists, posters, administrative documents, and Web content have in common? Most people scan them quickly, focusing only on the information that catches their eye. These documents often contain too much detail, use complex words, and are visually overloaded. As a result, readers miss or misunderstand a lot of information.

To communicate information clearly, documents must be tailored to the needs of the target audience. In this way, they will be understood on first reading and will be easy to read, understand, and use. Plain language is key to ensuring that documents and communications are understood on first reading.

This international approach is guided by ISO standards. It is based on principles that focus on words and phrases as well as the way information is structured and presented visually.
​

In this hands-on training course, participants will learn a step-by-step process for applying the principles of plain language. They will learn about the importance of tailoring their texts to meet the needs of their target audience. They will also learn how to select and organize information, and how to write clearly and simply.

This training is divided into four parts:
·      Today’s information environment
·      What is literacy?
·      What is plain Language?
·      The 6 steps to writing in plain language with practical exercises

​You will be accompanied by Chantale Audet and Amélie Bourret for this training.
