Inall cultures, oral and written communication is shaped in accepted ways
according to the audience and the purpose. These forms of communication can be
Classified as genres, each with specific identifiable features. Affypical/informal
Conversation in English, for example, is marked by hiesifations, false starts, fillers, (e.g,
um, you know), grammar errors, and{idiomate pxpréssions. By contrast, a newsreader 1.
uses Gareful Speech that has been rehearsed to eliminate the hesitations, redundancies, and
errors that are typical of informal conversation. Other genres of oral Tanguage include
small talk, speeches, job interviews, talk-show interviews, and telephone conversations,
English language leamers may b¢ Unfamiliar with the conventions that apply to
various genres. They may not know, for example, that speeches in English traditionally
begin with “Ladies and gentlemen.” For this reason, they must be exposed to many —
examples of formal and informal oral language and encouraged to use the features of
each. For more information about the features of oral language, see chapter 7.
