Tutoring abilities

Would you walk up to your school principal and shout, "Hey dude, what's up?"

Probably not! You naturally change the words you choose depending on where you are and who is listening.

The word **context** means the exact situation you are in, including where you are and who you are talking to.

Just like you wear sneakers for gym class and rain boots in the mud, you pick different words to fit different situations.

So how do our words actually change when we move from the playground to the classroom?

We use **informal language** when we are relaxed around family and close friends.

We switch to **formal language** when we speak to teachers, community helpers, or when giving a presentation to an audience.

Let's look at how Maya asks for help in two different situations.

When building blocks with her best friend at recess, Maya says: "Hand me that red block quick!"

When asking her teacher for art supplies during a lesson, Maya says: "Excuse me, Ms. Patel, may I please borrow the red scissors?"

Does using formal language mean you have to sound like a robot?

Using formal language does not mean using giant, confusing words.

It simply means speaking in complete sentences and using polite words so your **audience** can easily follow along.

Before you speak, always pause and ask yourself: "Who is listening, and where are we right now?"

How Language Changes in Different Situations. Investigate how language choices vary depending on the context of an interaction.

Language for Interaction: Choosing Words for Context and Audience (Primary English)

What is Formal and Informal Language? - KS1 English

Adapting Spoken Language for Different Audiences and Situations

To build Year 2 mastery in AC9E2LA01, use high-engagement, role-playing activities such as 'Hat Swapping' or 'Costume Role Play' (e.g., wearing a high-vis vest to be a crossing supervisor, putting on a crown, or wearing a school captain badge). Pair oral activities with visual anchor charts comparing the playground, classroom, and formal assembly contexts. Explicitly model sentence stems for polite requests ('Could I please...', 'Excuse me...', 'May I suggest...'), and provide opportunities for students to evaluate audio or video clips showing characters choosing effective versus mismatched language for given situations.
