Chapter 5 Question 10: What is language function?

Question: Chapter 5 Question 10
What is language function? Give to examples of language function.

Answer on page 76 of book ‘How to Teach English’
A language function is a purpose you wish to achieve when you say or write something.

The book’s example of is if you want a student to come on time to class tomorrow you could say:
Get here on time next class if you know what’s good for you.
I suggest you get here on time next class.
Next class? On time, OK?


You would use these depending on the context of the speaker, person being spoken to, and their mutual context.

If you want to express apology:
I’m sorry.
I AM sorry.
I didn’t mean to do that.
My ‘b’.
Sorry.

If you want to express satisfaction:
Wow, that’s great.
Wonderful, I liked that.
That’s good.

S7 Chapter 7: Teaching Reading Q. #3

Sorry for the late post y'all! :/


Principle 1: Encourage students to read as often and as much as possible.
To sum up (or restate) the little said about this principle in the text: the more you read the more you learn.

Principle 2: Students need to be engaged with what they are reading.
Helping students find enjoyment in their reading will build a positive connection with it and accelerate their learning.

Principle 3: Encourage students to respond to the content of the text (and explore their feelings about it), not just concentrate on its construction.
When students react to the reading in a personal way, they become more engaged with the text and the language itself.

Cp.7 Q. 2

I'm a bit confused as to if we're e-mailing these or posting them, but I guess I'll do both? Sorry it's later than Wednesday....

Q: Which three reading skills should students acquire?

1) Scan - students should not read every word and line, they are searching for particular bits of information

2) Skim - to get a general idea of what it is about, but once again not concentrating too hard on specifics

3) Reading for Detailed Comprehension - looking for detailed information or picking out particular examples of language use
