CELTA -Functional Language (what it is and how to teach it)

[alenaivashniova]

FL "is about what the language does".
I've been teaching for years but I've never thought that it could be easy to describe Functional Language so precisely.
Thank you so much, Jo! You're an excellent teacher trainer!))

Ma’am, I discovered your channel this past July when I was taking the CELTA course. Ever since, I’m a regular visitor. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

Hello Jo, Hellen from South Thames College London recommended me your channel. My Celta training is starting in two weeks time. I would have to say I thought I knew how to teach! You have literally blown my mind! Thanks for your job! 🌺🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hello, Jo. The areas of “function and form” have always been a mystery to me and when I took my CELTA back in 2013, I failed my language analysis.
With your videos, I know I have a stronger chance of passing this second time around. Please keep the videos coming and thanks again.

Hi Jo, I found your channel while I was doing me CELTA - I was looking for videos on how to teach functional language and watching this video was so much easier than it is in any books. I've already subscribed to your channel, and I think I'll be learning a lot more, and I'll be a regular visitor. Thank you for being so kind to share your vast experience with so many of us xxx.

Do the phrases that are typically used for odering a meal or giving directions fit the category of functional language? Or they are more of colloquial language?

[jeffreymaughan]

Would you generally teach one function per context or a range of functions appropriate to a context?

[Insider_English]

By 'meaning', in this case, I think 'intent' would be more precise a word.
