Videos, reading, listening and exercises help you develop the language needed to understand colleagues and contribute to routine IT communication.

This course helps learners build English language skills for IT study and work at level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), within the programme’s Global Scale of English (GSE) range of 22–42.

From project information to practical problem-solving

Course 1 places English in software development, game design and technical support. Its seven modules move from understanding project data and giving advice to following technical problems, team updates and community messages.

Reading and listening activities introduce conversations and emails about improving performance, loading problems, support issues and upcoming events. These connected workplace situations show how people in different IT roles share information and seek help.

Develop your technical vocabulary through terms such as algorithm, compression, validation and lazy loading. Work with expressions for recognising problems, finding solutions and keeping colleagues informed.

Grammar practice covers countable and uncountable nouns, modal verbs for advice and obligation, the present continuous and uses of perfect tenses. The activities connect these language points with quantities, suggestions, current work and updates.

Together, these topics strengthen your A2 foundation for everyday IT communication. You practise understanding project details, interpreting email updates and reminders, and following explanations of routine technical difficulties.
