Just finished teaching a really fun online English Writing-Editing course for three executives, all of whom have French as their first langauage., who work for the federal Office of the Privacy Commissioner. They submitted writing samples - legal documents, briefing notes, executive summaries, etc.- and spent time reviewing the more esoteric syntax and grammar issues. They enjoyed working on simplifying overly-flowery "government-speak" and "doublespeak" documents.
