IDENTIFYING THE FUNCTIONS OF LEARNERS´ LANGAUGE
What I learnt in this unit was the different functions
used by learners in the classroom. Some possible language functions are;
greeting, asking for clarification, agreeing, speculating, self-correcting and
between others.
Within a lesson a student can use many of them
depending on his needs, age, level and the learning context. For example, when
having a quiz a beginner might have some doubts about the instructions given in
the test so he will use the function of asking clarification or expressing
doubt. For that he will need to use exponents so those exponents must be taught
in advanced so that he could interact correctly with each other and with the
teacher. Bearing in mind all those aspects I will implement the use of
exponents in my class. I think the most function used for beginners is asking
for clarification. I could identify it when doing my internships. Although the
function is identified, beginners never use English exponents. That is why for
my future teaching I will teach my student basic exponents depending on their
necessity. For instance, if they want to confirm answers from an exercise, I
will model the exponent “Is that ok?”, “What is the correct one?”.
In short, learners must know the most frequent
exponents but not regarding their grammatical form but their meaning.
Take a look to this video to get familiar with the functions of language.
