BEP 321 – Управление проектом 6: Запуск пользовательского тестирования

BEP 321 Модуль урока - Английский для управления проектами 6: User Testing

Добро пожаловать обратно в Деловой английский Pod для сегодняшнего урока по Английский для управления проектами and launching user testing for a software project.

At the heart of every software project is the user. If the user finds the software confusing, or if it doesn’t do what the user needs it to do, what’s the point? Именно по этой причине, user testing is an essential part of the development process.

User testing can involve a range of activities. You might watch how users interact with the software. You might track or monitor how they use it. And you might ask them for their opinions. В этом случае, you collect information and feedback that helps you create the best user experience possible. And just as the software itself needs to be user friendly, so does user testing. If people don’t have a clear idea of what they’re supposed to do during testing, you’ll be wasting an opportunity.

So when you launch testing, it’s important to outline what you’re going to be doing, and what kind of feedback you’re interested in. Because the software is new to the test users, you’ll need to give them clear instructions on how to use it and give them an overview of the main features. You might also find yourself emphasizing key points along the way. В конце концов, it’s much easier to make sure everyone understands upfront than to deal with confused users during testing.

В сегодняшнем диалоге, мы услышим Джилл, a developer with a software company called OptiTech. They’ve been developing software for a logistics company, and now they are ready to launch the first round of user testing. We’ll also hear Liam, ИТ-менеджер для клиента, and Carla, one of the test users.

Вопросы для прослушивания

1. What does Jill say will be the final step in this test?
2. What three aspects of the software does this test focus on?
3. What does Jill emphasize is absolutely necessary for the drivers to do?

Деловой английский Pod 305 - Английские словосочетания для выделения 2

Добро пожаловать обратно в Business English Pod на сегодняшний урок деловые английские словосочетания для подчеркивания точки.

Хорошо говорить по-английски - это не только правильно говорить. Речь идет о выборе слов, оказывающих влияние, и о влиянии на мысли и чувства людей. И если вы изучите привычки великих ораторов, вы услышите, как они эффективно используют ударение. A great speaker won’t just say he “recommends” something. Вместо, he might say he “strongly recommends” something. That word “strongly” triples the impact.

But how would you know that we say “strongly recommend” and not “heavily recommend” or “deeply recommend?” Well, “strongly recommend” is the natural combination of words that native speakers use. Эти естественные сочетания слов называются словосочетаниями.. Словосочетание - это всего лишь два или более слов, которые носители языка обычно используют вместе. И вы можете выучить сочетания ударений, чтобы звучать более естественно и усилить воздействие того, что вы говорите..

На этом уроке, послушаем окончание презентации на тему лидерства. Мария резюмирует свои основные моменты. Во время презентации она использует несколько словосочетаний, чтобы подчеркнуть свои идеи.. Попробуйте выделить эти словосочетания, и мы поговорим о них позже во время подведения итогов.

Вопросы для прослушивания

1. Мария просит своих слушателей подумать о человеке. О каком человеке она просит их думать?
2. Что Мария говорит о прекрасной речи, не подкрепленной действием?
3. Что Мария думает о том, что люди ищут смысла в работе?

BEP 304 – Деловой английский словарь для акцентирования 1

BEP 304 - Деловой английский словарь для акцентирования 1

Добро пожаловать обратно в Business English Pod на сегодняшний урок деловые английские словосочетания used to emphasize a point.

If you want to make an impact when you speak, you need to learn the importance of emphasis. Я имею в виду, if sales increased, that’s great. But what if they increased a lot? Or you might be concerned about something, but what if you’re very concerned? “A lot” and “very” are used for emphasis. But you don’t want to only use “a lot” and “very.” If you use any word or expression too much, it will lose its impact.

На этом уроке, we’ll listen to the end of a presentation about the financial performance of an airline. The speaker is talking about what the company can expect to see in the coming year. And during the presentation, as well as during the question and answer session, the speakers give emphasis to their ideas using “collocations.”

A collocation is just a pair or group of words that go together naturally. Например, instead of saying something “increased a lot,” you can say it “increased sharply.” The words “increase” and “sharply” often go together. And if you want to say you are “very concerned,” you can say “deeply concerned.” That’s a natural way of emphasizing the idea of being “concerned.”

Native speakers use these word combinations naturally. And if you want to sound natural, it’s a good idea to learn these collocations. Как вы слушаете диалог, try to pick out some of these collocations, и мы поговорим о них позже во время подведения итогов.

В диалоге, we’ll hear Leo, the presenter, talking about some of the key financial indicators the airline uses to track its performance. We’ll also hear two managers, Rita and Mike, ask questions at the end of the presentation.

Вопросы для прослушивания

1. What does Leo say the company has achieved in terms of costs?
2. How does Rita feel about the positive attitude concerning profits?
3. What does Leo say about non-fuel cost growth in their company, compared to other companies?

Презентации делового английского - Connecting to Your Audience (2)

Добро пожаловать в Навыки и умения 360 for today’s lesson on how to connect with your audience while you’re actually delivering your presentation.

It’s easy to leave your connection with the audience to chance. Я имею в виду, you might think that giving a presentation should be about conveying a message rather than “connecting” with your audience. But I assure you, whatever your message is, you’ll get it across with much greater success if you have a good connection with your audience. And that connection isn’t a chance occurrence. You have to work on it.

Business English for Connecting your Presentation to your Audience 1

Добро пожаловать в Навыки и умения 360 for today’s lesson on how to connect with your audience during a presentation.

You’ve probably heard all sorts of advice about delivering a good презентация. But at the end of the day, every single presentation strategy is designed for one thing: connecting with the audience. по факту, if you don’t connect with your audience, you might as well pack up your PowerPoint and head home. You need to build a bridge to send your message across. No bridge, no message. And don’t think you need to be an easy-going extrovert to connect with an audience. This is something that you can learn to do well.
