The next topic in unit 3 it is about
Functions, it is the reason we communicate and it has a purpose in this case
that can be for: Greeting clarifying, apologizing, inviting and advising.
The language that we use to express a function is called an exponent and
exponent also shows the different levels of formality, which can be informal that
is more socially casual and the formal that is more socially distant,
those words are used according to the situation or the person that someone is
talking to. There are also neutral exponents this show when we want
to be respectful but not too much casualness to the person we are talking to.
Functions are really necessary in education because through this students may
ask for help, for a thing they want or to express likes and dislikes this will
help to express their taught in the correct way.

I agree with you Carolina, learning functions are really important for students not only for completing a task, but to apply it communicatively.
ReplyDeleteI think that your explanation was clear because the terms that functions have are important because students can realize the way how they speack could be in a formal or infornmal way.
