Question 1
1.1) One expects to find formal language in any place of work and authority such as businesses, court, parliament, newspapers etc. Any profession which is associated with a high level of education and order. Formal language is also known to reflect on the speaker’s social class. It shows what type of school you attended, how you were raised and your heritage. Informal language is more commonly heard in a social environment. For example when you are at a braai or attending a family function. The people present usually know each other so the atmosphere is more relaxed and there is not an essential requirement for formality. Informal language is usually used on social media platforms or instant messaging.
1.2) If you were to address your colleagues, you would need to do it in a formal manner. You should gather as many facts as possible and also listing as many possible solutions as you can find. Facts and solutions help in strengthening your argument. This information would be presented to the board to try and convince them to agree with your point of view. Whereas in a social environment with your friends informal language could be used. You could discuss teenage pregnancy and give your personal thoughts and opinions on the topic.

There are two key areas of my tutor’s comments on TMA-02 that I felt were important to further improve upon. The first was referencing as I made mistakes by either neglecting to insert relevant references or by enclosing wrong references, i.e. using the publisher as reference instead of the author. The second comment related to key concepts that lacked clarity in their explanation.
There are many different ways in which workers and service users communicate within a health and social care setting for example, hospitals, pharmacies, dentists may use emails to communicate with each other to send one another information which would be in a formal manner as it more appropriate and professional as it shows that you’re respectful. However a paramedic would use their radios as it is much faster and can be a quick response which is reasonable for the situation. (https://www.stuvia.co.uk/doc/293541/p1-explain-the-role-of-effective-communication-and-interpersonal-interaction-in-a-health-and-social-care-environment) Formal and informal Formal and informal have different purposes. The tone, the choice of words and the way the words are put together between two different styles. Formal language is less personal than informal.
When communicating with others, you need to consider the context in which you are working. You
Formal communication would be used by professionals talking to other professionals, in a reception area and in a meeting. Formal communication is effective in these circumstances as you’re more likely to be taken seriously.

Spoken words is not the only way in which we can communicate, it also happens in the way in which we respond to others, for example, the way in which we respond to emails or phone messages, how we respond to others when they are speaking to us and how we dress. Non spoken forms of communication can be an issue of they are misread by adults and children. Different cultures will use
Humans process many of their thoughts by discussing them. If you have ideas, questions and opinions about your work, sharing them with colleagues helps to clarify, develop and even change the way you think and act. This process is equally true of children and young people as they learn about their world. The way in which you respond can encourage or discourage the development of this important form of communication.

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter that represents the letter A is what Hester wear.She lives in a native village, in Old England (11).She had an infant on her arm, and the letter A on her bosom (12).The baby were started to crying of pain, and she was hurting on (13).

A lot of research has been done on this topic. Many linguistics have surveyed on the social behavior that people have to converse with each other who include Biber and Carter and McCarthy.

Communication should be clear, concise, and succinct to avoid any room for misinterpretation; Negative nonverbal cues such as, facial expressions, hand gestures, and body language, could discredit the person-to-person conversation. Communication scholars argue that one should not assume that more communication is equated with better communication (Keyton, 2013, p. 154), especially with the added use of nonverbal cues. It is understood that interpersonal communication is important, but whether it changes the landscape of a business for the better is another question, altogether. There are both formal and informal communications in the workplace; Formal, dealing with work decisions and the latter, dealing with friendships and non-work-related banter.
It is of utmost importance for the educational leaders and policymakers to be knowledgeable of the law that governs the operation and conduct of their organizations. Educators work with public money to educate children and are held responsible for doing it appropriately and in accordance with the law. Special education administrators especially need to be well versed in state, federal and case law governing special education because they are not only responsible for protecting students’ right to free and appropriate public education but also to maintain a balance with their school district’s resources. They need to have a good handle on what services (expense) are absolutely necessary to meet students’ needs while protecting their right to education in least restrictive environment. They also have the responsibility to share knowledge with general education administrators about identification and placement processes for special education and then work with them to develop most effective service delivery model. Since special education services cater to a vulnerable section of our society, there is a moral obligation in addition to the legal obligation to protect the rights of students with disabilities.
