1 Introduction to Business Writing When teaching business writing I usually start by explaining a theory of writing I have developed over my years as a teacher which is based on Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) [M.A.K. Halliday, 1980]. In this theory I break the writing down into three elements that should be considered when writing an . 1) Stages of the 2) Target language 3) Interpersonal language Focusing on these elements can be an effective way to teach writing to non-native speakers, as it helps them to break down the process of writing a particular genre of into simple and logical steps. Considering these steps can help avoid some of the usual pitfalls with regards to structure, appropriately polite language and specific language for the genre. The three elements can be simply explained as follows: 1. Stages of the (structure) This involves breaking the into different small sections that the should go through to express its meaning effectively. E.g. (for Summary of Annual Report ) Subject- Greeting- Aim of - Refer to attachment- Summary of report, etc 2. Target language of the This is the most common language that will usually appear in a specific type of . E.g. Summary of Annual Report projections/ increased/ fluctuated/ year on year/ sales figures etc
2 Introducing a Product/Service offer a free sample/ high quality/major breakthrough etc 3. Interpersonal language Interpersonal language focuses on using the most appropriate and polite language to address others. In using the best interpersonal language modal verbs are extremely important. (should, would, might, may, etc.) e.g. I should have / It would be advisable for you to /you may / you might try The following is an example of how an genre can be broken down into the three elements. This particular is a complaint from one company to another: Subject: Complaint against your staff! Dear Zhang Li, I wish to complain about your customer service representative, Jenny, whom I contacted on June 17 th 2014 regarding an issue with a late delivery. I am complaining because Jenny was incredibly rude and insulting to me. To resolve this problem I would like to receive a full apology and explanation or my company will take its business elsewhere. When I learned of the late delivery, I contacted Jenny and was told that nothing could be done about my problem. After stating that this was not an acceptable explanation Jenny raised her voice and told me I should have contacted your company sooner to resolve the issue, thus blaming me for the incident.
3 I would like a written statement explaining your company s position and what you will do about my complaint. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to resolve this problem. If I do not hear from you within 3 days I will contact my lawyer about terminating our contract. You may reply to me at this or call me at (phone number). Sincerely, Molly Price. 1.
