Hi, I would like for someone to just check my answers please. Thank you. Q: What the speaker does: Choose which of these skills are being utilised in these common uses of language. 1 interaction - This covers elements of speaking related to taking account of and responding to other speakers e.g. responding, asking follow up questions. 2. grammar and vocabulary - This covers use of new grammar and vocabulary in speaking exercises. 3. body language - Non verbal-elements of speech. Body language can differ from culture to culture and is something students can forget about entirely when they're pre-occupied with working out what someone else is saying and how to form their response. 4. appropriacy - Using appropriate vocabulary and grammar. Different social situations can call for very different language and students need to be aware that what is correct to use in a formal letter can sound artificial and stilted in an informal chat. 5. functional language - Elements of language that play a functional rather than semantic role e.g. greetings and goodbyes. c.f. TKT Unit 1 Section 4 6. connected speech features - This refers to natural pronunciation of words as part of sentences and everyday speech. Natural speakers never pronounce every syllable and will sometimes omit portions of words or run together separate words into a single entity e.g. 'donchaknow'. Learners must be familiar with this to understand speakers in real-life situations and be able to use connected speech to produce natural sounding language. a.
