Editing for English

Obviously, your writing skill is quite important in presenting your ideas, as papers articles and books and in order to further your reputation as an excellent writer and communicator. Your papers’ English will be edited in order to support your development as a writer. Please always remember the Editorial Staff comments are made as a valued member of your educational development team, as you earn your degree. As one of your valued team members your editor’s contribution is to be seen as a constructive contribution towards your success.

If your first language is not English, don’t be put off, as the editorial comment will help you improve your writing and communications skills as you get on with your research on each of your MBA, Master, Doctoral, TESOLM, or Bachelor Program papers.

Your editors are available to support you after graduation by offering their ongoing services at very competitive rates for your business writing needs.

This is the type of editorial support you can expect: -

• Marked improvement in grammar and sentences.
• Improved sentence structure.
• Writing and my speaking ability improvement.

Students find their English language skill and fluency improves dramatically as a writer and speaker so much so they draw positive comments from their peers and are often asked to proofread colleague’s papers.

Over the program you will notice editorial comments begin to dwindle through your development as a writer.

An Open Letter from the Editorial Staff at APEC University

"Dear Colleague,

We welcome you to APEC University as a valued Student.

I have been asked to explain how we support you and your development as a good communicator in written English. First we start with your email. On receiving your email, including your papers we will edit them for correct English, as a service to support your development as a writer of English. The way we do this is simply to redline the written English that can be improved for grammar and clarity. Next, we will write the correct words in red. If necessary, comments can be included to explain the correction, or when substituting a word for clarity of meaning. If a sentence is not understood, then we may ask you to explain the meaning. We will only do this from the standpoint of correct English. We will not do this because we are seeking to understand your work from a technical reading; please forgive us in advance if we ask for a better explanation. Our mission is to support you through your program as you develop your English language writing ability.

You will find that after two or three papers your thinking and written expression in English is improving. You will be learning to use and apply the English language like a ‘native writer’. You will learn correct English by being taught correctly through using it to gain your educational goals.

Through using and applying English on a daily basis in reading and researching texts, articles and books, writing your journal and course papers you will start to think in English and, as you make this transition, so you will become much more comfortable with your spoken and written English.

We recognise that English is not your first language so we humbly ask not to be concerned about your current level of expression. Rather, we ask that you look to others who have gone before you and have successfully completed their program. We are confident that you too will go on to be successful in your career, with high income and very enviable life style through our support for you.

I can confidently predict that you will look back on our relationship and say that you learned more from our editorial team that from your time at school in ESL classes.

At the start of your program please write your profile and look forward to receiving a reply as from a pen friend, who is committed to supporting your success.

We hope this welcome note is the beginning of a long and rewarding start to your time at APEC University.

We look forward to meeting you online, and being a valued member of your support team.
