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.
