Purchase options and add-ons

This easy-to-use handbook is an essential resource for anyone who needs to write English correspondence for an international business audience. In an engaging, accessible style it integrates the theory and controversies of intercultural communication with the practical skills of writing and editing English for those who read it as a second language. The book emphasizes principles of simplicity and clarity, proper etiquette, cultural sensitivity, appropriate layout and typography, and more to increase the chances that a text prepared by a native English speaker will be better understood by a non-native speaker. It also updates traditional advice with new insights into "e-mail culture." Equally useful for students and professionals in business communication, marketing communication, and international business, The Elements of International English Style is filled with realistic examples, problems, and projects, including: 57 specific tactics to internationalize one's English; hundreds of before-and-after comparisons showing the effects of editing for an international audience; models of international correspondence; practical discussion questions and work projects; useful resources for further study, including books, articles, and websites.

As a professional writer whose audience is primarily ESL speakers, I was surprised to find I still had a lot to learn. This book taught me some new tricks. It should be required reading for anyone who writes for an ESL audience. It's easy to read, well-organized, and full of practical examples.

3.0 out of 5 stars Weiss should practice what he preaches!
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2011
I think the overall content of this book is good. However, after about page 124, I got so tired of his American bashing that I found myself starting to just skim the pages. Ironically, he suggests writers avoid offending readers, yet he does this to Americans throughout the book.

As an American living overseas, I am interested in improving my communications for a global audience. I realize the conventions of English in the United States are different from most of the world. That is why I wanted to read this book.

I did gain some new perspectives from the book, but I did find it interesting that the writer did not follow his own advice.
