B1 Intermediate | Course 1

English for IT – B1 is a series of two courses featuring instructional videos, reading, listening and various types of exercises and activities specifically designed to test the Common European Framework Reference (CEFR) Levels B1 / Global Scale of English (GSE) range of 36-49.

This series provides learners with essential English language skills embedded in real IT contexts such as DevOps, Quality Assurance, Game Design and Software Development.

Both courses integrate practical vocabulary, functional grammar, and everyday communication scenarios to support clear and effective collaboration in tech environments.

Through structured listening, reading, and language practice, learners develop confidence in areas like giving updates, describing processes, managing workflows, and explaining causes or quantities.

This series steadily builds a strong foundation at A2 level, reinforcing core language skills while introducing relevant industry terminology and communication strategies.

Each course section utilizes one or more of these jobs as a source for its material and topics.

There are narrative themes and connections between the various jobs and scenarios. For example, listening and reading activities make use of conversations or emails between people working in different positions who may be collaborating on projects across departments and disciplines, or seeking advice in order to resolve issues etc.
