Framework for logical business writing for Japanese learners

Abstract

Texts on business writing for Japanese learners deal with, among many other things, styles for writing reports and proposals. However, if learners are not accustomed to reading these documents, it is difficult for them to remain motivated to study them completely. To keep learners motivated, I have introduced a new framework in a book on logical business writing for Japanese writers, and given them exercises related to learners' life experiences. Results indicate that most of the learners consider the framework useful in real-life business situations, and experience a sense of fulfillment through the exercises.
