Learn Real English for IT Teams

IT Vocabulary in Real Life B1–B2

480 Essential Words and Phrases for Software Teams — with Exercises and Answer Key

by Maxwel A. DMello

About this book

Know the words. Use them with confidence.

You can read the code and the documentation. But at work you also need the words around the code: how to say that a release is at risk, that a fix is behind a feature flag, that you've ruled out the network or that the date has slipped. IT Vocabulary in Real Life B1–B2 teaches the 480 words and phrases that software teams really use, in real work texts from one international team.

Use it on its own, or with Book 1 of the series, Writing at Work for IT Teams B1–B2: every chapter points to the matching Book 1 chapter.

What you’ll learn

  • 24 chapters in four Parts: the team and the work, building software, running software, and talking about tech and your career
  • 20 words and phrases per chapter, with meanings in simple English, examples, B1 and B2 levels and the words that go with them
  • Real chats, tickets, emails and pages that use every new word
  • 240 exercises, a short writing task with a model answer in every chapter, four Part reviews and a complete answer key
  • 96 classic mistakes ("Say this, not that"), an A–Z word list and a self-assessment checklist

Who it’s for
