The language of spontaneous situations
If we use English in spontaneous situations:
- we relate the target language to the learner's immediate environment;
- we take advantage of spontaneous situations to use the target language;
- we exploit contexts which are not directly linked to the syllabus (language in use).
Here are some common situations in which spontaneous English can be used:
- Happy birthday!.
- Many returns (of the day).
- ..... has his/her 12th birthday today.
- ... is eleven today. Let's sing "Happy Birthday".
- I hope you all have a good Christmas.
- Happy New Year!
- All the best for the New Year.
- Happy Easter.
- Best of luck.
- Good luck.
- I hope you pass.
-Congratulations!
- Well done!
- Hard lines!
- Never mind.
- Better luck next time..
