About Business Communication (FOU105)
UNIT OVERVIEW
Business communications is an extremely practical subject. You will find the material we study often
relates to situations you have already experienced, enhancing your appreciation of these
experiences, and helping you understand the principles of communication and how it is practiced in
the business environment. This course provides you with a mix of principles to analyze business
communication, and practical tools to improve your communication skills. It also develops your
formal skills in writing business reports, letters and email, and spoken word presentations. The way
we understand communication affects our ability to reflect on and improve our own communication
practices.
The course is delivered in two parallel tracks: Business Communication Principles and Skills Practice
and Business Communication in Application.
●
●
Main Lecturer will be in charge of Business Communication Principles and Skills Practice with 10
sessions.
Associate Lecturer will be in charge of Business Communication in Application with 5 sessions.
The course designs based on six (6) modules:
Module 1 (ULO 1) introduces you to distinct communication theories. Practical exercises encourage
you to consider how these theories apply to business situations. The module also covers the
complexity of communication in business, including how we use tone, expression and language.
Module 2 (ULO 2) challenges you to consider how your own perspectives, culture and external
influences shape the way we communicate with others. We will also introduce non-verbal
communication, how we send and receive vast amounts of information, without having to say a word.
We switch from the personal to the interpersonal in Module 3 (ULO 3), focusing on two of the most
common communication practices for individuals in business, listening and having formal discussions.
You will be asked to reflect on your own practices, and be given the opportunity to analyze case
studies.

FOU105 BUSINESS COMMUNICATION
TRIMESTER 1 2022-2023
These listening and interview skills will serve you well in Module 4 (ULOs 3, 4, 5), where we focus
specifically on teams and meetings. We will consider the different roles we play in groups, common
experiences of teams, and how to effectively contribute to our teams, regardless of whether or not
we have a formal leadership role. You will be asked to identify your strengths and areas of
improvement in group work. You will also be asked to fulfil practical roles in business meetings, and
recognize the ways different skill sets contribute to the smooth functioning of a team, before putting
your knowledge and skills to the test.
Models, guidelines, and advice on formal business communication are covered from a practical
perspective in Module 5 (ULOs 3, 4, 5). How should emails be written in a business context? What
strategies can we use to make our presentations engaging and more memorable? How do we
produce business reports that our audiences appreciate? And how do we make sure our ideas are
understood?
Use the principles and skills you practiced in the previous five modules in Module 6 (ULOs 3, 4) as it
guides you through the process of job hunting, from job researching to writing effective application
letter, curriculum vitae and managing the interview process. Two essential skills for job hunting –
building a personal brand and networking – are also introduced and practiced maximizing your future
employability.
As you work through this course, we encourage you to share your real-life communication
experiences with other students, to extend your knowledge.
Welcome to the fascinating world of business communications. We look forward to making the
journey with you.
