Adapting Speech to Context
English · Speaking & Listening · procedural
Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks, using formal English when appropriate to task and situation while adjusting tone, vocabulary, and style for different audiences
What mastery looks like
- Present the same information formally to a panel and informally to peers
- Adjust vocabulary and sentence structure when speaking to different audiences
- Identify contexts that require formal English and those where informal speech is appropriate
Check your understanding
Does Adapting Speech to Context naturally speak differently depending on who they're talking to — for example, more formally with a teacher than with a friend at the playground?
