CONTENTS BLOCK 2 SPEAKING
1. Production Strategies:

Planning
- Conceive the message clearly, distinguishing its idea or main ideas and its basic
structure.
- Adapt the text to the recipient, context and channel, applying the register and
speech structure appropriate to each case.

Execution
- To express the message with clarity, coherence, structuring it properly and
adjusting, where appropriate, the models and formulas of each type of text.
- Readjust the task (to undertake a more modest version of the task) or the message
(make concessions on what you would really like to express), after assessing the
difficulties and available resources.
- Lean on and make the most of previous knowledge (use 'prefabricated' language,
etc.).
- To compensate the linguistic deficiencies through linguistic, paralinguistic or
paratextual procedures:
Linguistic
- Modify words of similar meaning.
- Define or paraphrase a term or expression.
Paralinguistic and paratextual
- Ask for help.
- Point objects, use deictics or perform actions that clarify meaning.
- Use culturally relevant body language (gestures, facial expressions, postures, eye or
body contact, proxemics).
- Use extralingual sounds and conventional prosodic qualities.

Socio-cultural and sociolinguistic aspects: social conventions, courtesy norms

and registers; customs, values, beliefs and attitudes; nonverbal language.

Production Strategies:
Planning
- Mobilize and coordinate their own general and communicative competences in
order to effectively carry out the task (review what is known about the subject,
what can or is meant, etc.).

dictionary or grammar, obtaining help, etc.).
Execution
- Express the message clearly according to the models and formulas of each
type of text.
- readjust the task (to undertake a more modest version of the task) or the
message (make concessions on what you would really like to express), after
