Proofreading & Error Correction
Our entry level proofreading service will typically correct punctuation, spelling, grammatical, syntactic and semantic mistakes within English text - the majority of these mistakes would not be identified by a computer spell/grammar checker. If your project is nearly complete and you require a final proofread, this service is suitable for you. Lexicon can effectively provide you with a second pair of eyes to eliminate any lingering errors in your work.
Copyediting
Our copyediting service provides a more in-depth evaluation of your work by using our comprehensive CSR technique. This will not only correct all aforementioned errors, but also assess your work in three fundamental areas: content, style and readability.
English Language Consultancy
Our consultancy service provides the greatest level of detail and client engagement. Perhaps you are having difficulty with your English content, or you have disparate ideas but are unsure how to fuse them together in a coherent and legible way. We can add substance to your existing ideas or we can generate content from scratch. We often work with customers throughout the duration of a project - from inception to publication. Moreover, we are always available for consultation at any stage during the project lifecycle. Our consultancy services can also accommodate long term partnerships with clients at favourable rates.
Language Assessment
Do you need to evaluate the linguistic skills of a current or potential employee? Maybe you need a second opinion about a candidate before you commit to hire? We understand recruiting the wrong individual can be very costly and have developed a comprehensive assessment programme that can evaluate English language proficiency. Our multi-level programme covers both written and verbal assessment and can be tailored to meet your precise requirements.
Language Training
We offer several classroom-based training courses covering different aspects of the English language. Our flexible material can easily be adapted if you require training within a specific area. Additionally, we offer presentation and project management courses. Please refer to our training section for more details.
