The everyday language you need to introduce yourself at work — your name, your role, your studies, and your department.
Why this matters This is the first lesson of the English for Work course: it covers introducing yourself professionally; talking about your studies, experience, and skills; and describing your position and department. Mastering this content lets you walk into any workplace and explain who you are and what you do with confidence. Take time to review every example before moving to the assessment — repetition is what actually locks knowledge in long-term.
