That is why every IT specialist should be proficient in it. good level. In this article we will tell you how English will help you in your work and what resources you need to use when learning English for programmers.

Why does a programmer need English?

If you have already started working in the IT field, then you understand perfectly well that programmers cannot do without English. However, some people believe that technical English does not need to be taught: almost all terminology comes from English, so everything will be clear as is. For those who are not sure whether it is worth spending time learning a foreign language, we will give several compelling arguments.

1. Understanding the terminology

   Most programming languages ​​are based on English keywords.

2. Selecting development tools

   Some of them lack a Russified interface.

3. Reading technical documentation

   Almost all reference materials and technical specifications are written in English (if you are interested in orders from abroad).

4. Communication with customers

   Many foreign companies actively use the services of Russian IT specialists, and in order to accurately understand the needs of clients, you need to know English well.

5. Studying professional literature

   The latest books and articles in the IT field are published in English. Programmers need to constantly be aware of all the news and updates, so it’s worth learning English.

Your strengths and weaknesses: how to teach English to a programmer

In learning English, as in any other matter, you should use your strengths and try to work on the weak ones. Let's find out what you have to work on.

1. Your strengths:

• Logical thinking

  How to use: Grammar is a logical structure, so with regular practice it will not be difficult for you to learn it.

• Wide lexicon

  How to use: It will be easier for you to learn English for IT, because you already have a good base of vocabulary. As you study words, you will notice that many of the “technical” words you are familiar with have a different meaning in general spoken English.

Yours weak sides:

• Unsure knowledge of grammar

  Cause: technical texts tend to use complex terminology but very simple grammatical structures, so you may not have paid enough attention to grammar. Everything is decided by studying the designs and doing practical exercises.

• The language barrier

  Cause: You have had very little or no speaking practice. Because of this, the so-called “dog syndrome” develops, that is, you understand everything, but cannot say it yourself. Practicing speaking will solve this problem.

• Hearing barrier

  Cause: Programmers do not often have to perceive information in English by ear, so you may have problems understanding the speech of your interlocutor. Working with audio materials will save you from this.

We have found out your strengths and weaknesses, and now we need to decide how to learn English for programmers. Based on our experience, you should start learning specialized English for IT after you have completed the Pre-Intermediate course. Before this, it is better to study general spoken English in order to lay a solid basis for professional knowledge.

Where is the best place to learn a language? Find special courses learning English is almost impossible for developers, so the best solution There will be individual lessons with a teacher. It will be even more convenient to study English without leaving your favorite computer, and we suggest you do this. If you want to study English for IT, we recommend that you study materials on your topic during the lessons, that is, learn only what you need.

How to learn to speak English as an IT specialist

In the development of this skill, everything is logical: in order to speak, you need to speak. Some people believe that oral language development can be achieved through tutorials and online exercises, but this is not true. Imagine that you have read the entire tutorial on Python, but have not tried programming in it. Will you be able to write a high-quality program right away? Most likely, it will work with errors, and only after much practice will you learn to write something sensible in this language.

The situation with English is similar: no textbook or tutorial can replace your conversational practice with your interlocutor. Therefore, look for a partner to speak English. Moreover, you can develop oral speech without leaving home. Use the site

Nowadays, most people try to start learning English from a very early age. Parents give to language schools children as early as three years old, remembering how much more difficult the process of learning a language will be in adulthood. And yet, the number of adults who strive to learn English does not decrease every year. One of the most popular courses is English for programmers.

There is no need to talk much about how necessary English is for a programmer. All the most important and interesting informational resources– English-language. Books, podcasts, news – in English. Only a very patient or lazy person can afford to wait until all this is translated into Russian; besides, no one will give you a guarantee that the information will not become outdated before it is finally translated into Russian. Rather, the opposite result can be guaranteed. It’s not even worth saying that in some companies English is used in business documentation or when communicating with clients - the motivation to learn English is already at the level of a skyscraper.

English for IT specialists: learning features

At first glance, it may seem that English language courses for programmers are a specialized program that includes the study of professional vocabulary and terminology. But IT specialists, even those who have studied English very superficially, have a good command of professional vocabulary. The technical vocabulary of programmers, most of the words of which are borrowed from English, is the basis of professional slang that all IT specialists speak. That is why, best program training for programmers – general course in English.

There are several tips to help minimize the time and effort spent on language courses:

Tip #1. English for programmers is a course that, if possible, is best studied in mini groups - no more than 4-5 people.

Tip #2. Develop all your English skills. Just because you watch movies without subtitles doesn't mean you speak English fluently. Just because you're a confident reader of fiction and technical literature doesn't mean you'll be able to put your thoughts down on paper competently. If you only focus on spoken English, your writing skills will not improve. free application– they will also have to be developed.

Tip #3. Grammar is essential. And not only for written English, but also for spoken English. Therefore, at least its basics will have to be studied. To do this, you can use the book by Raymond Murphy (promising name, isn't it?). Book title “English Grammar in Use with Answers”

Tip #4. They train well conversational skills and the ability to perceive English-language information by ear.

Tip #5. Make it a habit to read English news interesting materials in English. Look up the meanings of unfamiliar words. Reading increases your vocabulary several times, start with short texts: we have previously told you where you can get good English texts for readers of different levels of English.

Tip #6. You can improve your pronunciation using the Spell Up game from Google

Tip #7. Speak English. Visit conversation clubs, chat with colleagues at work or in English classes. Already become part of legends and scary stories about English courses, the language barrier is overcome, as a rule, with the second or third attempt to carry on a conversation. Therefore, the main thing is to speak.

English for programmers – mandatory item on the list of required skills for an IT specialist. But the program is not limited to learning technical English. Programmers attend English courses in order to master the basics - the rest can be developed in the process of direct communication.

We wish you success in overcoming the language barrier!

Every programmer knows that his daily work consists of developing and improving programs, as well as the English language, which is why learning the language is important and necessary.

iOS development

Six years ago I was 43 years old and didn’t know how to program at all. Well, maybe a little in BASIC, which was taught at the institute, as you understand, a very long time ago.

In a bookstore, the book “Programming for iPhone/iPad” caught my eye and, being an inquisitive person, I decided to try it. I bought a book MacBook Air(I already had an iPad then), installed XCode and started with examples from the book. When I received general idea about how things work, I wanted to do something useful. Since knowledge of English is very useful, or rather even necessary, for a programmer, I decided to create such an application.

A program for learning English from the days of Windows 98 called Triple Play Plus immediately came to mind. There is no translation at all and many of the most necessary words and expressions that are encouraged to be remembered with the help of pictures and simple, exciting games. My children, when they were still schoolchildren, loved to play it and learned many words and expressions that were very useful to us in travel abroad.

The program just begged to be put on the tablet, and I enthusiastically began creating it. But when faced with a harsh reality, I realized how little knowledge and experience I still had, and also what a monstrous amount of work awaited me. It was simply unrealistic, and after making just one screen, I abandoned the idea. Creating different calculators or players from programming lessons was completely uninteresting and I abandoned this business for a long time.

Three years have passed

In August 2012, my wife and I flew to Thailand, deciding to spend the whole winter there. In order not to idle all this time, we signed up for English language courses, the level of which at that time we had like most of our compatriots, that is, zero. We must pay tribute to our teachers Angie the Englishwoman and John the American, as well as the authors of the Direct Method, in the first month we remembered and learned to pronounce an incredible number of words and expressions. But going out onto the street, where there were a lot of Americans and British, trying to talk with them, we realized that we did not understand anything, and certainly could not explain anything to them.

Embarrassment, stiffness, and uncertainty accumulated. Something had to be done about this. One friend advised me to watch the program “Polyglot” by Dmitry Petrov and download the simulator application. We looked, downloaded, practiced - we go outside - we can’t speak, the tongue in our mouth is like stone. I feel like I need to train my speech, develop a language, but with whom? Who will be able to listen to my indistinct mooings for a long time, and how will I understand whether I said it clearly or not? The solution is obvious:

You need to talk to the device

Firstly, there is no embarrassment or fear to speak. Secondly, you can torture him as much as you like until you get tired of it. And the most important thing is to be sure that you speak clearly. If a device with speech recognition understands you, then people will understand all the more.

After Googling a little, I found an English speech recognition library for iOS and a demo application with open source. Enthusiasm again! I took out a dusty MacBook, downloaded an example, played with it to figure out what the code does, what it does, renamed it Polyglot Sound and began to remake it into a Polyglot voice trainer.

Over the course of about a week, through trial, error and artistic prodding, working 12-15 hours a day, I created a working prototype that could be used for training. It was only necessary to fill it with Russian phrases and audio tracks and their corresponding English ones. I found the phrases partly on the Internet, partly from the Polyglot application, which I used before.

For about a month or two, I filled out the application with phrases lesson by lesson and at the same time tested and practiced. My wife also trained. During this time, she and I developed the muscles of the tongue and those associated with it so much that we became leaders in the courses, and on the street, my hitherto more than modest wife, who was even embarrassed to ask something in the store, chatted with all her might and, in my opinion, flirted with Americans.

I did not expect such an effect and, not finding anything like it in the App Store, I decided to prepare and publish my first application there. I didn’t even think then that it would require more time and effort from me than mastering the English language.

The thorny path to the App Store for a novice developer

The hardest thing I came across was the design. Everyone knows how carefully Apple pays attention to the design of applications, so the first version of my application with a clumsy, sharp-angled design was immediately rejected by the censors. However, the second and third and fourth and fifth... met the same fate. I had to approach it thoroughly, master Photoshop, buy a program that allows me to draw using Objective C code, develop a concept, choose a background, and cover it with translucent bubbles with tips. You understand how difficult this is for a person doing all this for the first time. It took a lot of time and effort, they accepted my work only when we returned to Russia, that is, a little less than a year later. But I still look at my first application and I like it. Thanks to the Apple moderators (how I cursed them!) for getting such results from me.

Laconically, nothing superfluous, completely voice control and just one button - everything I like. Having received the green light in the App Store, I set the price at $4 and began preparing for the release of a free light version of the application containing only the first lesson, reasonably believing that “who would buy a pig in a poke? We need to give people a try." Imagine my surprise when a month later I saw about $300 in my account. As it turned out later, at that time the Polyglot program was a huge success, very a large number of those wishing to download applications and a small number of competitors in the App Store. Now everything is not so rosy: my application has slipped down, there are few sales, there are a lot of Polyglot applications in the App Store, although the voice trainer is still the only one, my Polyglot Sound.

Direct Method

If the ability to issue well-constructed English phrases- this is the merit of the Polyglot Sound application, then vocabulary, idioms, reading, writing and deep knowledge grammar (yes, English grammar really learn to the end, unlike Russian) - this is the merit of the Direct Method, which we used in Thailand. And my next application was Direct English. In it, I tried to imitate as much as possible a real course with a native speaker. Three books, about a hundred lessons, a picture for almost every word or phrase, 38 dictations, a year daily work, just a huge amount of material, and in my opinion I succeeded.

The application is very easy to use, it does not give the user any choice: reading means reading, dictation means dictation. Everything is like in the courses. The only thing the user can choose is the voice (American, British or Australian) and speech rate.

Return to the Abandoned

Having already had some experience, after four years, I returned to the idea of ​​​​developing an application under the Triple Play Plus program. Having opened the abandoned project, I was horrified, smiled, deleted it and started a new one, calling it Play English. I did even more than in the original, added adjectives, adverbs and verbs, forms irregular verbs in the Bingo game they learned easily and imperceptibly, added a pronunciation trainer, dictations and grammar tasks for Polyglot. It turned out to be the most voluminous of my applications, but it made it possible for a person of any nationality to start learning English practically from scratch and achieve an acceptable level for starting language practice.

Anyone interested in learning more about learning English can do so on my website.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that you can learn mobile application development without special education, if there is an idea that can captivate you. Although, looking back, I wouldn't say it was easy. Along the way, I found out that you need to learn exclusively through practice, be it a foreign language or creating mobile applications. In the first case, you just need to start talking, in the second, you need to start programming. I hope that my article will be useful to someone. Thank you.
