Written and spoken english
this slide contains the overview of written and spoken English.it shows the differences between the written and spoken language.
Cau3 spoken language - edex
This document provides guidance for assessing students' understanding of how spoken language adapts based on context. It outlines the assessment criteria for bands 3 through 5, with the highest band (5) requiring a "perceptive understanding" of how language changes according to situation as well as how speakers' language choices can influence others. Examples are used to support responses at each band level.
Diction types
This document discusses different types of diction including formal vs informal, colloquialism, slang, dialect, and jargon. It explains that formal diction is used for official occasions and contains complex words, while informal diction is used in everyday speech and may contain contractions. Colloquialisms and slang are nonstandard terms appropriate for informal contexts. Dialect varies based on geography or social groups. Jargon consists of profession-specific terminology unfamiliar to outsiders.
Communication studies exam
The document provides tips and strategies for the CAPE Communication Studies Paper 2 examination. It outlines the structure and content of the exam, including that it consists of 3 essay questions testing each module. It provides sample exam questions and details the marking schemes for content, expression, and organization. Key points emphasized include identifying the writer's purpose and main point, discussing language techniques and organization strategies, and adhering to the appropriate essay format and structure.
Technical vocabulary 2 by Dr. ANJIBABU
The document discusses vocabulary, which is defined as the set of words a person knows. It notes that acquiring vocabulary is important for communication, expression, and comprehension. It outlines different types of vocabulary including reading, listening, speaking, and writing vocabulary. Methods for building vocabulary are also discussed, including learning word parts like prefixes, suffixes, and roots. The importance of continuous vocabulary development is emphasized for tasks like reading, tests, and expression.
Workshop strategic confidence
This document discusses strategic competence and its importance in developing communicative competence. It defines strategic competence as knowing how to recognize and repair communication breakdowns, work around gaps in knowledge, and develop one's own learning skills. The document recommends teaching learning strategies to build learner confidence, responsibility, and independence. Specific strategies discussed include memorization techniques, communication strategies like circumlocution, and skill development strategies like using music to practice pronunciation.
Brown.Elizabeth OPI Certificate
Elizabeth Brown successfully completed an ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview in Arabic and received a rating of Advanced Low. The Advanced Low level means she can handle a variety of communication tasks related to daily life, though sometimes haltingly, and participate in informal and some formal conversations on familiar topics. She can narrate and describe in different time frames at a paragraph level, with some lack of aspect control, and handle unexpected events in familiar situations through rephrasing.
Linguistics notes 1
This document provides an overview of topics that will be covered in a basic linguistics course, including:
- The differences between speech and writing, and why linguists consider speech to be primary.
- The descriptive vs. prescriptive approaches to language, with linguists taking a descriptive approach.
- The main parts of grammar: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
- The concept of arbitrariness in language, where the relationship between form and meaning is largely conventional rather than inherent, with limited exceptions for onomatopoeia and sound symbolism.

Azores, jocelyn
The document outlines the fundamental skills necessary for proficient reading according to the National Reading Panel in 2000. It identifies 5 key skills: phonemic awareness, knowledge of the complete phonetic code, directional tracking, blending sounds, and attention to detail. Developing these fundamental phonological processing skills is important for advancing to skilled reading, which requires fluency, handling multisyllabic words, vocabulary, and comprehension. The document emphasizes that reading comprehension, as the goal of reading instruction, is a higher-level skill that builds upon proficient decoding and phonological processing abilities.
Register or Tenor
The document discusses different approaches to defining and categorizing formality in language use, referred to as register, tenor, or style. It notes that while linguistics textbooks may use the term "tenor" and prefer the term "style", registers are more narrowly defined as relating to specific activities like academic language. The document then presents one prominent five-category model of formality in spoken English proposed by Martin Joos, ranging from frozen, formal, consultative, casual, to intimate styles.
Language Registers notes
There are 5 language registers that determine the appropriate style of language to use in different situations: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The document defines each register and provides examples. According to the document, the register used depends on the audience, topic, and purpose of communication. It is important to use the right register to avoid offending others.
Varieties and Registers of Spoken and Written Language
This document discusses language varieties and registers. It defines varieties as variants of a language that can be distinguished based on social, historical, spatial or combined factors. Some varieties discussed include pidgins, creoles, regional dialects, minority dialects, and indigenized varieties. Registers refer to how language use varies based on social context, purpose, and audience. Five registers are defined - frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. Formal and informal language registers are then classified and rules or characteristics of each are provided.
SLPI-ASL Rating - Brandon Dockery
The memorandum informs Brandon Dockery of the results of his May 16, 2007 Sign Language Proficiency Interview in American Sign Language. He received a rating of Advanced Plus to Superior Plus, which indicates an ability to have fully shared conversations with in-depth elaboration on both social and work topics using near-native signing skills. The program plans to officially adopt the SLPI for student assessments starting in Fall 2007. Brandon is welcome to retake the SLPI for a fee after October 2007 to potentially improve his rating.
ACTFL_SpanishProficiency_Certificate
Herman Flamenco successfully completed an Oral Proficiency Interview in Spanish and was rated at the Advanced Low level according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines for speaking. At the Advanced Low level, speakers can participate in informal and some formal conversations on familiar topics, narrate and describe in paragraph-length discourse in all major time frames, and handle complications that may arise in routine situations, though their speech may be strained at times.
Language descriptions
The document outlines and compares different approaches to describing language: classical/traditional grammar, structural linguistics, transformational generative grammar, language variation and register analysis, functional/notional grammar, and discourse (rhetorical) analysis. Classical grammar is based on analysis of word roles in sentences but has limited application to English. Structural linguistics describes language through substitution tables and syntagmatic structures, providing a means to sequence language items but failing to explain relationships of meaning.
Language description4
This document discusses different approaches to language description and analysis throughout history. It describes traditional grammar, structural linguistics, transformational generative grammar, and language variation and register analysis. Transformational generative grammar argued that structural descriptions were too superficial because they only described surface structure and not deeper relationships of meaning. The concept of language variation led to the development of English for Specific Purposes, which analyzed registers of language associated with specific contexts such as fields of knowledge.
Spoken language study communication
This document outlines the objectives and activities for a unit on spoken language study. It will analyze different forms of communication and how language changes based on context. Students will identify oral, written, non-verbal and visual communication. They will watch a film about communication and answer questions. The spoken language unit makes up 10% of the English Language GCSE and involves a controlled assessment where students complete a written task analyzing variations, choices or changes in spoken language. Factors like age, gender, ethnicity, occupation, education and situation affect how people speak.

Identifying illustrative descriptors (workshop iii)
The document provides instructions for students to evaluate an interviewee's oral production based on linguistic, sociolinguistic, and pragmatic competences descriptors for level B1. Students are asked to watch a video interview and use a checklist to examine if the interviewee achieves each descriptor, providing reasons. The checklist includes descriptors for general linguistic range, vocabulary range/control, grammatical accuracy, phonological control, sociolinguistic appropriateness, discourse competence, and functional competence.
Spoken language study 4 2014
This document provides instructions for a lesson on analyzing spoken language transcripts. Students are asked to identify features like simultaneous speech, fillers, and colloquial language/slang in transcripts. They will then swap transcripts with a partner to check each other's work. The document also introduces the PEE (Point, Evidence, Explain) method for analyzing ideas in transcripts, including making a point, providing a quote as evidence, and explaining what it tells us. Students are given an example analysis and assigned a homework to write their own PEE paragraph analyzing a feature of their transcripts.
Ch 4
Verbal and non-verbal communication are both important forms of communication. Verbal communication uses language and words, while non-verbal communication includes gestures, facial expressions, and other visual cues. Effective communication requires skills in both verbal and non-verbal forms. Some key differences between the two are that non-verbal communication does not rely on words, can provide immediate feedback, and allows the sender to control aspects like tone of voice and body language.
The Alphabetic Principle
This document discusses the phonological processing abilities necessary for reading and spelling in an alphabetic language like English. It identifies three key phonological processing abilities: phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid naming. Deficits in these abilities can cause reading disabilities. Phonological awareness involves recognizing and manipulating sounds and is the most instructionally responsive. Tests are recommended to assess students' phonics skills, blending ability, and underlying phonological processing to address weaknesses.
elements of language &style
The document discusses four principles of language:
1. Directness - Language should be active, personal, and use "you" to directly address the audience.
2. Abstraction - Language should be specific rather than abstract.
3. Objectivity - Words can have both denotative and connotative meanings, so speakers should consider how audiences may interpret terms.
4. Formality - Language should be at a slightly formal level, using common words and informal constructions that are not incorrect. The summary captures the key points about the four principles of language discussed in the document.
Communicative Competence
The document instructs students to form groups of four, choose representatives, and discuss language competencies. It defines several types of language competencies, including morphological, syntactic, semantic, and orthographic competencies, which concern mastery of verbal and non-verbal codes. It also defines textual competence as understanding different texts, and rhetorical competence as effectively contributing to conversations and expressing ideas. Strategic competence refers to techniques used to communicate clearly such as gestures and clarifications.
Communicative competence in teaching english at secondary schools
This document provides an overview of a research study investigating communicative competence in teaching English at secondary schools in Yemen. The study utilizes a multi-method research design including questionnaires and classroom observations. The study aims to examine how teachers teach various aspects of communicative competence, including grammatical, pragmatic, discourse, and strategic competence. It also seeks to understand teachers' roles in the classroom and any difficulties they face in teaching the different competencies. The hypotheses are that teachers encounter challenges in teaching all elements of communicative competence. The study takes place in the Yaff'ae district of Yemen and involves questionnaires completed by 70 English teachers and observations of 14 classrooms.
Texts Summary
The document discusses two main perspectives on assessing grammar: 1) the syntactocentric perspective which focuses on syntax and sentence structure and 2) the communicative perspective which emphasizes how language is used to convey meaning. It also outlines several form-based perspectives on language including traditional grammar, structural linguistics, and transformational-generative grammar. Finally, it addresses assessing vocabulary, including measuring vocabulary size through word frequency lists and the yes/no format for vocabulary tests.

Choosing the linguistic features
This document summarizes a presentation on speaking skills in a second language. It discusses that speaking is often seen as the most difficult skill to master due to the need to consider sociocultural norms, context, and make quick decisions without preparation. Speaking requires mastery of vocabulary, syntax, intonation and discourse markers. Learners can develop compensatory strategies and engage in activities like storytelling and discussions. Maintaining turn-taking, accommodating the listener, and exchanges between native and nonnative speakers are also reviewed. The role of L1 and L2 in interaction and teaching speaking in the classroom are discussed.
Speaking
1) The document discusses the challenges of speaking in a second language and strategies to improve oral communication skills. It notes that speaking requires not just grammatical competence but understanding of social and cultural norms.
2) Several factors that can lead to mismatches in oral communication are explored, including lack of linguistic knowledge, different background knowledge between speakers, and differences in sociocultural expectations.
3) The document provides advice for language learners and teachers to help strengthen oral abilities, such as using compensatory strategies, engaging in activities like storytelling and discussions, and creating an supportive environment in the classroom.

Talking To Learn Presentation
The document discusses strategies for developing students' speaking skills in a foreign language. It notes that speaking is often the least developed skill and identifies key strategies like teaching phonics, providing opportunities for planned and unplanned talk, focusing on key structures, and using stimulus materials. Frameworks for different year levels emphasize skills like interpreting intonation, participating in discussions, presenting talks, and using more complex sentence structures and tenses. Assessment criteria for GCSE exams evaluate how well students communicate information, interact, speak confidently and deal with unpredictable elements.
Novice high
Speakers at the Novice-High level can handle predictable tasks in everyday situations but cannot sustain conversation at the Intermediate level. They can discuss basic personal information and preferences using simple questions and responses. Their speech consists mainly of short, sometimes accurate sentences in the present tense, relying heavily on memorized phrases and what they hear from others. Pronunciation and grammar may be influenced by their first language, but Novice-High speakers can generally be understood with repetition or rephrasing. When attempting Intermediate-level tasks, they can sometimes respond briefly but cannot sustain extended discourse.
Teaching Oral Communication Skills
The document discusses several topics related to teaching oral communication skills, including pronunciation teaching, accuracy versus fluency, affective factors, and interaction effects. It provides examples of micro-skills involved in oral communication, such as producing chunks of language, stress patterns, and strategic devices. The document also discusses factors that affect pronunciation learning, such as native language and age, and provides a model for correcting speech errors. Overall, the document offers guidance on techniques for developing students' oral communication abilities.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
