English at Work: Find and Fix your Mistakes in Business English

Autor Ellen Jovin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 dec 2019

Notăm cu interes modul în care English at Work reușește să transforme corectarea erorilor lingvistice dintr-o sarcină aridă într-o activitate dinamică și aplicată. Ceea ce diferențiază acest manual de alte resurse pentru nivelul B1-C1 este structura sa bazată pe micro-învățare: 50 de teste rapide concepute să identifice lacunele specifice de precizie și profesionalism în contextul muncii. Considerăm că abordarea Ellen Jovin este extrem de relevantă pentru mediul corporatist actual, deoarece nu se limitează la reguli abstracte, ci extrage exemple reale din industrii variate precum finanțele, tehnologia sau publicitatea.

În comparație cu Top 50 Grammar Mistakes de Adrian Wallwork, care urmează o structură didactică tradițională, volumul de față aduce un plus de personalitate prin casetele de tip „Ellen says”. Acestea oferă nuanțe prețioase despre eticheta comunicării, aspecte pe care autoarea le-a rafinat în zeci de ani de consultanță pentru clienți din New York. Ca alternativă la Most Common Mistakes by Non-Native Speakers of English pentru același nivel, English at Work are avantajul unui format mai vizual, îmbogățit cu ilustrații pline de umor care clarifică neînțelegerile lingvistice frecvente.

Această lucrare continuă misiunea începută de autoare în Essential Grammar for Business, unde accentul era pus pe reducerea anxietății gramaticale, și în Writing for Business, axat pe claritate și stil direct. Dacă în lucrările anterioare accentul era pus pe construcția mesajului, aici Ellen Jovin se concentrează pe rafinarea detaliilor fine – de la utilizarea corectă a virgulei Oxford până la alegerea vocabularului adecvat – oferind o metodologie de autoevaluare rapidă, ideală pentru profesioniștii ocupați.
