How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The video plays a daily stand-up meeting of a software development team as a conversation. It covers giving an update on your own work clearly, the phrases used to say you are stuck, among them I'm blocked by and I have an impediment, and the vocabulary of project management, coding and teamwork that such a meeting runs on, spoken by more than one voice.

How to use this resource:

You can listen once for the shape of the meeting, then again for the phrases themselves, which is how listening practice works best. The expressions for being stuck are the ones to take first, since that is the moment in a stand-up where people run out of English. Hearing the exchange rather than reading it also prepares you for the speed and the different ways people speak in a real team.
