Using language appropriately for a range of classroom functions

First, we have to say that the teacher wants the production the the second language in students. For that reason, the teacher is the guide to develop a class where the students must develop productive skills to process the language and use it in a paticular situation focused on the context, exponent to know in which case the language is used particularly in formal and informal situations.

Second, the teacher is able to do activities to make that his/her students can see how the language works according to the function and the purpose in which the language is used. Besides, the teacher must get the attention of the students with the participation of some of them while the rest is listening. Finally, the teacher can model a situation in which he or she can make an example of how a conversation is developed and so the students can find out how the second language works and enjoy acquiring the language appropriatelly.

To sum up, I was able to do a class where I could explain the use of functions of the language where I was able to use a real example to make students to notice the correct use of language in a real conversation to motivate them to practice correctly the language. Finally, I will apply that knowledge creating activities where the students can develop the language using any kind of real situation to be showed in class to make students interest in the benefits of speaking English.
