Strange sentence?
|
|
Hello dear friends! I would like to know if the following sentence is correct? If it sounds strange, how would you rewrite it? "Target of the course: developing and improving the listening, speaking and writing skills in business english." Thank you very much! |

It sounds OK to me.
Maybe you could put �Target of the course: to develop and improve listening, speaking and writing skills in Business English. � |

Technically, what you wrote isn �t a sentence at all. However, I agree with Lynne; this is fine as the introduction to a syllabus. Her suggestion is also good. There �s a very slight difference in meaning between your phrasing and hers: yours emphasizes the process, and hers emphasizes the goal. Use the one you like better.

I would say "aim" or "goal" instead of "target", and I agree with what Lynne said. Bruce |

I think it would be better like this:
Aim of the course: Develop and improve listening, speaking and writing skills in Business English. |

I agree aim is better than target. |
