Sd/L1.3a: Involve other people in a discussion

  • Adapt register depending on the situation and relationship between speakers, when asking about feelings, opinions, interests, wishes, hopes Example: Where do you stand on...? Tell me your honest opinion. So, how do you feel about it?
  • Use strategies to include people, such as asking for advice and suggestions Example What do you think is the right thing to do?
  • Use non-verbal signaling, as well as suitable phrases, to invite another person to speak
  • Use intonation patterns likely to encourage, rather than discourage, other speakers
