 FUNCTIONS

Resultado de imagen para functions of language
This chapter refers to functions. Function is the reason of communication. We exposure our language for apologizing, greeting, clarifying when someone does not understand what do you say. Even thought that function describe how we use the language in different context or situation, we make that situations. For example, if we want to invite someone to go to the cinema with us, we just say, would you like to go out to the cinema?  Also, we discussed about the exponents. It express different functions of language, it also depends   on the context it is used.  The exponents express different level of formality. Formal (socially distant), informal (socially casual) and neutral of the language. Each exponents of the language is used in different situation that people want to use. I consider that these aspects of the function of the language are important in our communications. How I will apply it in teaching, everybody knows that students come here with values that they learned at home. In the classroom what do we have to do as teachers? We as teachers need implement others values that will be for them.
