B3.2 Awareness of Sociolinguistic Conventions: identify sociolinguistic conventions associated with a variety of social situations in diverse communities where the target language is spoken, and use them appropriately in spoken interactions in the target language (e.g., incor- porate regional expressions into a role play or a presentation; identify and describe some alternatives to standard vocabulary, such as dialect variations; use acceptable body language, physical proximity, and gestures when addressing a culturally diverse audience; conduct research and report on expressions
of greeting and leave taking favoured by adolescents in target-language communities; use the appropriate level of formality to address people in an academic, a personal, a community, or a workplace setting)
Teacher prompts: “Can you share some examples of target-language expressions that adolescents use? How are they similar to or different from expressions that you use yourself?” “How do you address someone whom you do not know in a target-language community in order to ask for information or help?” “How does a shopper’s choice of language change depending on whether a purchase has a fixed or a negotiable price?”
