The Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL), experts in communicating with English-language learners and people with low literacy levels, will share how to write for your clients in ways they will understand. CAL taught the FTC how to think and write for lower-level readers, resulting in consumer.gov; this webinar will give you many of the same strategies and tools to help you communicate more effectively for your audience.
