Business and Professional Writing

This course will focus on writing as it relates to the Hispanic business environment: the writing of business correspondence, differing registers of formality in written Spanish, vocabulary related to the business environment, and different models of Hispanic companies. It wil also provide the cultural and idiosyncratic background of the Hispanic "ways of doing business" and how they differe from the American. These tools will prepare the student to create, organize, and develop a business or professional project strongly enough to success in the Hispanic business world. Formal written structures, cultural understanding, and a great deal of creativity are the basic elements of this course.
