Overview & Goals

MODULE 6 · TALENT TALK — ENGLISH FOR HR

HR Emails & Policies

The all-company email is HR’s most public writing test: hundreds of readers, one chance to get the tone right.

In this module you will learn to write policy announcements and formal HR emails in English that are clear, fair and calm — even when the news is unpopular. You will work on the formal passive and the linking words that hold a professional email together, and in the roleplay you will defend a policy to an employee who does not like it.

🎯 By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • announce a policy change to the whole company;
  • explain the reasoning before the rule;
  • soften unpopular news without hiding it;
  • invite questions and handle objections in person;
  • write formal openings and closings with confidence.

🔤 Grammar in this module. The passive voice (“Employees are required to…”, “The policy was approved…”) and linking words (however, therefore, in addition, as a result). Each has a short explanation and G1–G4 practice.

📦 What’s inside this module

  • Reading — Announcing a Policy Change Without Starting a Fire: how to announce a policy change without starting a fire, with key vocabulary.
  • Vocabulary — eight flip-cards with pronunciation.
  • Useful Language — phrases for announcing, softening and defending a policy, with a dialogue to listen to.
  • Writing Practice — The Policy Announcement: a short task with instant feedback from an AI coach.
  • Podcast — two habits borrowed from the army that make an email impossible to misread, with transcript and a short quiz.
  • Roleplay — Defending a Policy You Did Not Write, with the AI Tutor, out loud or in writing.
  • Unit Review & Final Quiz — revision notes, then everything from the module (you need 70% to pass).

🤖 Stuck on a phrase? Ask the AI Tutor at any point in this module — a word, a phrase, “is this too direct?”

Hundreds of readers, one email. Make the first line do the work. Let’s begin. 🚀
