The art of workplace English

by Carolyn R. Boiarsky

The Art of Workplace English blends theory and practice to present a picture of how workplace English can be integrated within a traditional English curriculum to create a lively, challenging, and satisfying experience for both teachers and students. Readers will discover how to teach the literacy skills students need in the workplace and learn more about the relationship between these skills and those of traditional literary and composition studies. Boiarsky looks at the kinds of jobs students will be expected to hold and demonstrates how communication skills are applied in these jobs. Rather than replacing the present English curriculum, The Art of Workplace English recommends expanding it.
