In this unit
I learned that a functions are everything we write or speak.so I could said
that function is the purpose why we communicate. The language we use to express
a function is called exponents. We use a –ing forms of verbs (e.g. greeting,
inviting…) which express different levels of formality, there are two levels
first formal language which is used in more official and important situations
and informal language which often happens in relaxed situations, it occur when
people know each other well and it is called colloquial (very casual) or
neutral (neither great respect nor too much casualness). Furthermore, people
usually choose to use the level of formality that suits a situation, this is
called appropriacy that is using correct vocabulary and expressions in a
situation, when something is inappropriate (unsuitable) it is not according of
the situation and appropriate(suitable)
when we use the expected language.
As a
conclusion, I could said that functions must be teach to language learners
communicatively. Trough role-playing, debates, interviews, business dialogs,
etc. Because students will be aware which vocabulary is appropriate in each
situation making it meaningful for them.

Nice work, I think that the words you choose are the correct one because in those words reflects clearly what function is, the video that you upload it´s really interesting because it really help me to understand better what function is.
ReplyDeleteThat's good. I like the video. In fact I think it is better than mine. By the way, I agree with you especially with the activities we can do to emphazises the different functions
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteThe video refers to different aspects that functions need to establish in the learning process, also your highlighted words make a connection with the concepts about functions and finally the activities that you provide us are helpful for students.
