    1.

    Study the following instances of language use and describe what factors influence the choices of
    language.
    A: why are you slowing down ?
    B: that bastard asked us to stop. I think he’s gonna give us a ticket
    A: he was arrive already
    C: hello
    A: hello sir, what can I do for you?
    On the telephone
    A: I am sorry sir, traffic patrols stopped us and I think I will be late.
    Answer:
    This instances of language use is a code switching, which describe the age influence of
    participant, and also the manner and the position of the speaker to the hearer. For example:
    when A says to B, he talking in slang language, because they are in the same age and same
    gender, as in “That Bastard asked us to stop. I think he’s gonna give us a ticket”. But when A talk
    to C he talks more polite, because they are not in the same age. And also when A in phone, he
    also talk in more polite because he talk to his boss in office, so it should be formal and polite.

    3. Give sample EFL language instruction planning by incorporating the concept of English as a
    lingua – franca.
    a. Provide an example of teaching materials for reading class by including language variety.
    b. Provide an example of how you will teach reading from the learning materials.

    Answer :
    the term lingua franca core for pronunciation elements that are crucial for

    intelligibility in face-to-face lingua franca communication . The elements included in

    lingua franca core are all the consonant sounds (except for /θ/ and /ð/), consonant

    clusters (addition (consonant insertion) is preferred to deletion), vowel length

    distinctions, and nuclear stress . On the other hand, some of the elements that are

    focused on in a traditional syllabus of EFL but are not so important for intelligibility are

    not included in lingua franca core . Pronunciation features that in Jenkins’ view do not

    impact ELF intelligibility are the sounds θ/ and /ð/ (for which most substitutions are

    possible, such as /f/ and /v/), dark [l] at the end of the word, as in little, word stress,

    stress-timing, exact vowel quantity and pitch movement .1

    A lingua franca core has been suggested for morpho-syntactic characteristics as well

    a preliminary list of grammatical items which are ‘deviant’ from native-speaker norms,

    but which are considered unproblematic in ELF communication . These are:

    - The omission of –s in third person singular : he look very sad

    - The omission of articles : our countries have signed agreement

    - Treating who and which inschangeable

    - Substituting bare infinitive for –ing I look forward to see you;
