Communicative Grammar Course Summary
Module 1
Using Conditionals
Module 2
Active and Passive Voice
Module 3
Complex Sentences
Module 4
Diplomatic Phrasing
Participant Challenges
You speak with good intent but struggle to express nuance, soften tone, or adapt language to fit complex situations. Overusing blunt phrasing or unclear grammar causes misunderstandings, tension, or offence. Your message often lacks precision or diplomacy. Without urgent change, conversations stall, relationships strain, and your leadership presence fades.
Course Objectives
Designed and delivered by Nicholas Hill Academy Ltd, this course enhances how you structure sentences, express nuance, and manage tone with confidence. You develop polished, diplomatic language that fits high-stakes conversations. Your team models your clear communication, and your organisation benefits from stronger collaboration and more credible leadership.
