Spoken Language Study
Lord Sugar’s idiolect stands out in this transcript because it’s completely different to the candidates. His language features are very informal which is surprising considering they are in a boardroom and you would expect everyone to be professional, especially Lord Sugar, as he is the boss.
Alan’s informality is shown with his cockney accent and the fact he uses elision and slang in his dialect, such as “dunno”, “talkin” and “should’a”. This shows that is so assured with his position of power and authority over the contestants that he doesn’t have to use upwards convergence to bring him closer to the contestants by changing his idiolect and giving people a more highly regarded perception of himself because

The candidates simply don’t have the authority to do that.
However, between the candidates there is a power struggle as they fight for their place, although they are always polite and don’t shout. This is to create a good impression because it would be disrespectful to shout at each other in the boardroom as it wouldn’t been seen as professional behaviour by Lord Sugar
Zoe shows that out of the candidates she’s the most dominant and powerful. She directly questions both Tom and Melody throughout the conversation “what were the daring ones” whilst using direct eye contact which shows she is confident and assertive.
Tom shows that he is less powerful than Zoe because he doesn’t use direct contact all the time when she is questioning him which means he is feeling intimated by her but, because he see’s Melody is less powerful that him, he talks over her “which was mooted down by every single person”.
Melody shows that she is the least powerful candidate; she constantly gets spoken over, partially by Tom “if I may if I may just finish what I’m saying” this shows that Tom is overpowering her, which puts her in a more venerable position.
During the conversation, the candidates never use question tags, this is because they don’t want feedback
Encouragement is an important tool for helping children develop in their language and communication skills and should be used as much as possible. Adults will need to give children the opportunity to take part in speaking and listening for many different purposes and situations and this can be achieved either in a whole class or small group setting Language is important in these roles and we should encourage them by asking them to talk about their own ideas.

The language is the specific quality observed as a human phenomenon. It includes the abilities to communicate with other people and even to perceive the initial thinking. However, the language has several distributions and it is divided into the spoken and written one. Both spoken and written languages have some similarities, such as having communicational functions, but they differ greatly in their origins, the principles and behavior, and in the vocabulary.
Spoken language is used everywhere in our lives yet for different purposes. With schools being an organization of varying ages, status and purposes teachers require spoken language to: teach, display their authority; to students and colleagues alike, yet to also create and maintain rapport amongst one another.
This is the first time in the play where she begins to speak for herself against Tom, at least at the end of the scene. It first starts out with her a Phillip professing their love for each other then Tom interrupting and demanding Maggie choose between them (Edmundson, 49-51). It is not until “he seizes her wrist and pulls her” (Edmundson, 51) away from Phillip that Maggie realizes that Tom is a bad influence on her. She realizes how he has never shown her the affection and love that she always willingly gave to him. At this point, she breaks from her submissive self to stand up to Tom. Maggie becomes version that falls in between First and Second Maggie: she is more certain of herself and settled into who she is. He is the one that forces her to change into this new person with renewed views on the world.
Throughout the public speaking course, I 've learned a variety of methods and strategies that have strengthened the effectiveness of my last speech or any speech, that may occur in the near distant future. It was important to understand the elements that were effective and ineffective to avoid making the same mistakes and to have a clear understanding where I may have fallen short in the past and could improve in the future of public speaking. When constructing the persuasive speech, it was important to use the rhetorical methods such as the a few of the 5 canons of Rhetoric as well as a few communication strategies, these tips have definitely improved my persuasive speech effectiveness.
Language as an object can mean many things but it is a physical thing, something you can see, e.g. social media, written, spoken, audio, text etc. Language as a social process is different than being an object. It is how individuals and groups interact, adjust/readjust the relationships and patterns of behaviour and how they are modified through social interactions, it is how we speak, formal vs informal, language in social context etc. Social process is dynamic forever changing. Although language as an object and as a social process are different, language can be both an object and a social process, you can’t really have one without the other, because no matter the object of language it is forever changing and individuals and groups are
The CASL or Comprehensive Assessment of spoken and language was administered by two student clinicians. The Test consists of 15 sub tests in the domains of comprehension, expression, and retrieval in the 4 categories of semantics, syntax, supra-linguistics, and pragmatics.. These sub tests are then divided into core or supplementary categories. Core tests are meant to determine basic language components where as supplementary test are meant to convey further information for a diagnosis. Depending on the client’s age, the test can take between thirty minutes to an hour and a half to administer, but overall is not a difficult test and yields useful results.

Students spend a lot of time in doing their schoolwork and after spending countless hours they hardly get the passing grades. They know actually how to read but are unable to grasp the meanings it really does not mean that these students are not motivated or they do not have that intellectual potential they try to show the best performance without targeting those weak points which become hurdle in their progress. As stated by Sylvie Thivierge Spoken language plays a vital role in determining someone’s writing it is observed that starting school is easier for those who are good at speaking as compared to those who are not well acquainted well with their language. Skills are interrelated and are developed at very early ages so if a student can speak well it’s not important that he can write well as writing needs to be done in an organized manner so teachers should assist the students in targeting those issues which unknowingly spoil their literary skills.
This is the speech delivered by President Bill Clinton at the annual White House prayer breakfast on Friday, September 11, 1998, to an audience of more than 100 ministers, priests and other religious leaders. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was also in attendance.
Language, talk, speech, and communication are four different but related topics. Language, is a structured system of signs sounds, gestures, or marks (symbols) that allow people to express ideas and feelings to others; talk is what we do every day; speech is one vehicle used to transmit language; and communication involves the exchange of meanings. Language is how we communicate and speech is one way in which we use language.
Young children can have unclear speech and mispronounce words, but as the children get older they learn how to use their tongue, lips and brain to work in harmony to say difficult and unfamiliar words. For most children speech difficulties pass with time but for some they find it hard so they repeat or pro-long sounds. This can be very hard for children so they can struggle to find ways to avoid using these sounds or words.
during my observations, I had to do six to nine hours inside ESOL (English to speakers of other languages) classrooms. One of the ways that I observed the school and teachers meeting the "Consent Decree" was by bringing other teachers who had the expertise to teach English learners, periodically, to assist the teachers and students. Another method pertaining to the resources was the fact that the teachers provided books written in many languages like Spanish and Chinese, this allowed all the children something to read and promoted the preservation of these children's native tongues during quiet reading time.
