Teacher prompts: “Quelle est la formule appropriée pour s’adresser au directeur de l’école?” “Pourquoi utilise-t-on un langage plus formel à l’écrit?” “Quel langage utiliserez-vous dans un texto à un ami?” “Qu’est-ce que vous pouvez écrire afin de respecter les formules
de politesse?”
Instructional tips:
(1) Teachers can model polite expressions that might be used when asking for an interview, such as “puis-je”, “pourriez-vous”, “veuillez m’excuser”, “je vous en prie”.
(2) Teachers can direct students’ attention to the differences between ordinary and administrative language (e.g., “mort”/“décédé”, “habiter”/ “demeurer”).
