Gopen’s Reader Expectation Approach to Writing in the English Language e-learning series prepares professionals to write clearly and persuasively by centering the experience of their readers. Readers expect to find certain types of information in certain places within a piece of writing and unless writers understand how readers read, their writing will not deliver the intended message. Although it sounds simple enough, the REA principles are revolutionary within English language instruction.

When applied consistently, the REA principles transform writing on even the most complex topics.

Why It Matters
Gopen’s REA eLearning series offers transformative insights in a self-paced format that has produced remarkable results for writers across professions. Whether communicating complicated topics such as law, science, policy, or grants, training in REA has propelled the careers of tens of thousands of learners over the last four decades, earning them billions in funding.

The lessons of REA are no less critical today, as artificial intelligence floods the Internet with examples of the same, poorly structured writing that has continually obfuscated clear communication about complex topics. Using REA with a critical eye toward editing your AI-generated content can ensure that you won’t be making all the same mistakes being compiled by your large language model.

Anyone can attend Dr. Gopen’s seminar lectures live or experience them through the e-learning series. In order to participate on the three-on-one workshops, one would either have to have attended the seminar or viewed the first seven of the 12 episodes of the eLearning series.

What to expect
An engaging and expansive online instructor-led training that uses real-world examples of scientific grant proposals, legal briefs, and college term papers to illuminate the crucial interplay between the structure and the substance of prose in professional-level writing.  You’ll learn how and why it works, and doesn’t work. Along the way, Dr. Gopen includes highlights from admired writers such as John F. Kennedy, Frederick Turner Jackson, and even a touch of Shakespeare. By the end of the program, you’ll see the English Language, and your own writing, through the reader’s eyes. This improves the effectiveness of professional writing in any field, translating into dollars, success, and recognition.
