Course Information

Introduction

Clear English reduces mistakes and speeds collaboration across teams. Developers and IT staff spend much of their day writing tickets, reading docs, and explaining technical issues. Small language improvements cut review cycles, shorten incidents, and improve handovers. This course focuses on practical language skills for real IT tasks, using authentic texts and role-based practice.

Objectives

1. Write clear bug reports, feature requests, and support tickets that include context, steps to reproduce, and expected vs actual behavior.
2. Draft and revise technical documentation, READMEs, and runbooks with logical structure, concise instructions, and useful examples.
3. Explain system architecture, technical decisions, and trade-offs in plain English for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
4. Take part in stand-ups, code reviews, and design meetings using appropriate vocabulary, asking clarifying questions, and delivering concise updates.
5. Compose effective status emails, escalation messages, and demo scripts that state the issue, impact, and next steps.
