Learning outcomes Session 1: Proofreading (Lead facilitator: Charlotte Arundel) This session will look at the implications of getting language wrong in the public arena, either as straightforward errors or grammar, punctuation and spelling, or as language inappropriate for the context. Tasks will involve review, commentary and reflection on some 'real-life' websites, highlighting common and avoidable language errors.
