  • Thanks for listening to Learning English for Work.

  • We're busy making some new programmes to help improve your business English.

  • In the meantime, we thought you'd enjoy this programme from 2024.

  • It's all about business jargon and the strange phrases we use at work.

  • Hello and welcome to Learning English for Work and our special series all about workplace jargon.

  • I'm Pippa.

  • And I'm Phil.

  • Today, we're talking about technology at work and all the jargon that comes with it.

  • You can find a transcript for this episode to read along on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.

  • So, technology,

  • it's increasingly a part of our lives at work and it comes with quite a lot of jargon, right, Phil?

  • Yes, it does.

  • I suppose new things need new words to describe them.

  • We said something like this in the jargon about ideas episode, didn't we?

  • Yeah,

  • and office workers in particular may have seen new jargon develop

  • since remote working or hybrid working has become more popular or more widespread in those kinds of jobs.

  • And of course, now that more work is online,

  • we actually use a lot more online jargon at work as well.

  • OK, let's look at some common jargon around the technology that we use at work.
