Many non-native English professionals struggle to express precise, specific ideas in a work setting due to a lack of specialized vocabulary. This can hinder your confidence, credibility, and effective communication. In this episode, discover three practical strategies to improve your technical English vocabulary, helping you convey clear messages and significantly boost your professional presence.
Key Takeaways:
- To get better, try to read, watch, or listen to all your work-related content in English. This will help you stay up to date and learn how people in your field talk.
- For long-term improvement, focus on doing small learning tasks often—daily or weekly—rather than big study sessions once in a while.
- Knowing the right technical words not only makes you more confident but also helps you explain things clearly to coworkers and experts, making teamwork and communication smoother.
Vocabulary Corner:
- Technical Vocabulary: Specific words and expressions used within a particular professional field.
- Example: “Mastering the technical vocabulary of software development is essential for communicating with engineers.”
- Convey: To communicate or express an idea, feeling, or information clearly and effectively to others.
- Example: “Learning specific phrases helps you convey complex ideas more clearly in a business meeting.”
- Personalized Glossary: A list of important words, their meanings, and examples that relate to your job or field.
- Example: “I’ve started building a personalized glossary by noting down key nouns and verbs from company manuals.”
- Spaced Repetition: A method of studying where you review material over longer and longer periods to help remember it better.
- Example: “Apps like Anki and Quizlet are excellent tools for practicing spaced repetition to build your vocabulary.”
