Using language appropriately for a range of classroom functions.
Language is a system
to communicate where people can express feelings, ideas, and experiences, through
the voice, gestures, and written symbols. It means that people must use a
correct language depending on the age. For this reason the function plays an
important role into the language because as we know the purpose of the
communication is called function,
and this is expressed through exponents.
In addition, teacher
into the teaching process must take into consideration the class profile in
order to students use the language appropriately.
It means teacher should recognize the learner´s age, learner´s need, and
learner´s level in order to students practice the language correctly. After
that, teacher must fulfill his or her roles in order to students can practice
the language through the context. For
example: Teacher can motivate students through function encouraging where students need to put effort in order to develop
the language, for this reason teacher should create confidence between teacher and students allowing them feel comfortable
in the class. Then, there are other functions like instructing, modeling, prompting, instructing where students can
follow a sequence into the learning process who are able to practice the
language avoiding a lot of use of their mother
tongue. For that teacher can control them through activities identifying
the formality or informality the student’s language.
