English for IT

English for IT — speaking up in standup, not staying quiet

Train English on the real working situations of a developer: standups, code review, client calls, and deadline discussions — not generic business-meeting topics.

Problem

A developer reads documentation fluently but freezes in conversation.

Technical English on paper doesn't help when you need to jump into a standup, explain a decision in code review, or hold your own on a client call.

Method

Lessons are built on real work scenes, not generic "business meetings."

Standups, code review, retros, client calls, architecture discussions — concrete situations from a developer's actual job, not a generic meeting template.

Outcome

The goal is confident participation, not polite silence.

A learner should be able to give a short status update, explain a blocker, push back on a technical point politely, and hold their own on a call with an international client.

Questions

What learners usually ask first

Is this suitable for developers at any English level?

Yes. Lessons can start with simple status updates and build toward more complex technical discussion.

Can lessons focus specifically on code review and standups, rather than generic business English?

Yes. The program is built around a developer's actual work rituals, not general business topics.

Will this help on calls with international clients?

Yes. Part of the program is dedicated to discussing deadlines, constraints, and holding your position politely.

Do I need to already read technical documentation fluently?

No, but it helps speed things up — then lessons can focus entirely on the speaking side.

Learning path

A simple path from first response to real use

1

Daily rituals

Standups, status updates, questions to teammates, and short explanations.

2

Code and feedback

Code review, explaining a decision, disagreeing politely, and asking clarifying questions.

3

Clients and deadlines

Client calls, discussing deadlines, and explaining technical constraints.

Standup

Explain a blocker in 30 seconds

Practice a short, clear status update without over-explaining or freezing up.

Code review

Give and take feedback

Politely flag an issue in someone's code, or respond calmly to a comment on your own.

Clients

Hold your ground on a call

Discuss timelines, explain technical constraints, and push back politely on an unrealistic deadline.
