Preliminary Activity:
TASK 1: CONNECTING LIVES
Consider this situation: A student received academic
recognition from the school. How do you think a
supportive parent would speak to the child? Would
others, such as a friend or a teacher, speak to the child in
the same manner? Copy and use the table below to
create possible dialogues between the following: student-
parent, student-friend, and student-teacher. Brainstorm
on what each one would say to the student. Work with a
partner. (LM, p. 119)
Activity:
TASK 2: ACT IT OUT
In a two-minute role play, present the dialogue you have written to the class.
Decide which among the three situations you will portray: 1) student and
parent, 2) student and teacher, and 3) student and friend.

Abstraction:
Language register is the level of formality with which you speak.
Different situations and people call for different registers. These are
the different language registers according to Joo (1967).
Frozen or Static
At this level, language is literally ―frozen‖ in time and form. It does not change. This
type of language is often learned and repeated by rote. Examples are biblical
verse, prayers, the Pledge of Allegiance, and others.
Formal
This style is impersonal and often follows a prescriptive format. The speaker uses
complete sentences, avoids slang and may use technical or academic
vocabulary. This is the register used for most academic and scientific publishing.
This is the standard for work, school, and business.
Consultative
This is the register used when consulting an expert such as a doctor. The
language used is more precise. The speaker is likely to address the expert by a
title such as ―Doctor, ―Mr. or ―Mrs..
Casual
This register is conversational in tone. It is the language used among and
between friends. Words are general, rather than technical. This register may
include more slang and colloquialisms.
Intimate
The language used by lovers. It is also the language used in sexual harassment.
This is the most intimate form of language. It is best avoided in public and
professional situations.
