Let's be clear

We believe that access to information is a basic need that hasn’t yet been met for Australians with low literacy levels. With plain language, you will address the low literacy barrier and build stronger relationships with your audience.

Effective communication will make you stand out as caring, respectful and understanding of the communities you serve.

This course is ideal for individuals who want to communicate in a more accessible way. 

By the end of the course, you will be able to:
  • Identify content that doesn’t align with plain language guidelines.
  • Write content that is easy to understand.

Clear Writing,

  • Why plain language is important

  • Plain English principles and how to simplify content
  • Strategies to create accessible content in any language

Working with Sonia is always a delight. We enlisted her services for a number of different events that were held for a variety of audiences. She adapted her plain language workshop to each group with careful consideration and confidence, providing powerful learnings and receiving positive feedback from all participants.

Sonia's enthusiasm for communication is infectious and immediately clear from the first moment she starts her sessions. Her ability to engage a cross-disciplinary group in discussion, dissection and development of plain language principles and processes is a delight to be a part of. The team really enjoyed the workshop and provided really positive feedback.

I would highly recommend Sylaba's Plain Language Workshop. Sonia showed us the importance of using plain language and gave us fun and practical exercises to help us say what we mean more clearly. Sonia's expertise and passion for community translation are inspiring. If you care about communicating well, this workshop is for you!
