IT & Technology lesson plans
The IT and Technology courses give tech workers the English their job runs on: explaining technical ideas to non-technical colleagues, handling support problems, agile ceremonies, cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure and AI. There is an A2 course on programming basics for newer learners; the rest sit at B1 and B2. The vocabulary is taught in the situations where a student will actually use it.
The first lesson of each course is a full plan you can read here with no signup (for In the News, a recent story). The other lessons show an outline.
