This lesson invites students to explore a real transcript of natural conversational speech, like those used by linguists who analyse all aspects of language.
Goals
Explore a transcript of natural speech.
Identify attributes of natural speech.
Compare natural speech to written language.
Lesson Plan
The teacher explains that today, we will explore features of real spoken language.
In this exercise, students look at two examples of English language and describe their characteristics. What each one actually represents may surprise you.
Goals
Describe the features of some examples of English language.
Try to determine from the features where the example might have come from.
Lesson Plan
The teacher explains that today, we will look at two examples of English language and try to describe them as well as we can.
The way we use language can differ dramatically according to context. This creative lesson asks students to translate from one context into another. This is a great approach that allows students to apply their implicit knowledge of language, and to analyse linguistic features naturally and implicitly, based on their intuitive language skills.

It’s reasonably compact, compared to most smartphones these days, with a 3.7in screen that’s slightly bigger than the iPhone’s. It looks neat enough, but when you pick it up it feels like no other phone around. The screen is slightly curved, and so are the edges of the phone. It all feels like a smooth, tactile pebble, with glossy front and matte back. It’s made from polycarbonate, that is plastic, but it’s put together like it’s one piece. Even the tiny holes on the bottom edge for the speaker are individually precision-milled.
