June is 26Ten Plain English Month!
Plain English month highlights the benefits of using plain English, not just for people with low literacy, but for everyone. When you communicate clearly, people are more likely to engage with your information, find it usable and trust what you’re saying.
A communication is in plain English if its wording, structure and design are so clear that the intended reader can easily:
- find what they need
- understand what they find
- use that that information.
Thanks to the International Plain Language Federation for this definition!
26Ten has lots happening in the plain English space throughout June! Plain English month 2024 will include:
- The launch of the 3rd Edition of Communicate Clearly: A guide to plain English from 26Ten (PDF, 3MB)
- The inaugural online 26Ten Plain English Workshop
- Five public plain English workshops across Tasmania.
