B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson

Recall:
A speech style, according to Martin Joos (1976), a linguist and German professor, it refers to the form of language that
the speaker utilized which is characterized by the level of formality.

The following are the types of communicative styles:

1. Frozen - Also known as fixed speech, it is the highest form of communicative style which is often used in
respectful situations or formal ceremonies like Shakespearean plays, weddings, funerals, and more. It uses the
complex grammatical sentence structure and vocabulary that are only known by experts in that field.
2. Formal Style - this type uses formal words and expressions and is mostly seen in writing rather than speaking. It
also disallows the use of ellipsis, contractions, and qualifying modal adverbials.

3. Consultative Style - The third level of language. It is basically unplanned speech since the speaker uses the
participation and feedback of the listener. The speaker will supply background information, while again, the
listener participates continuously

4. Casual Style – is also known as informal style, it is usually used between, friends, or even insiders who have
things to share. In this type, there is a free and easy participation of both speaker and listener.

5. Intimate Style- is the last type is used in talks between two very close individuals. It is described by an economy
of words, with a high chance of nonverbal communication. Like casual, there is also a free and easy participation
of both speaker and listener.

Stephen Spender
Poet and critic Stephen Spender was born in 1909 in London.
 He was a member of the generation of British poets who came to prominence in the 1930s, a group—sometimes
referred to as the Oxford Poets—that included W.H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, C. Day Lewis, and Louis
MacNeice.
He was an English poet, novelist and essayist whose work concentrated on themes of social injustice and the class
struggle

I think continually of those who were truly great.

Who, from the womb, remembered the soul’s history

Through corridors of light, where the hours are suns,

Endless and singing. Whose lovely ambition

Was that their lips, still touched with fire,

Should tell of the Spirit, clothed from head to foot in song.

And who hoarded from the Spring branches

The desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.

What is precious, is never to forget

The essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs

Breaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.

Never to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light

Nor its grave evening demand for love.

Never to allow gradually the traffic to smother

With noise and fog, the flowering of the spirit.

Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields,

See how these names are fêted by the waving grass

And by the streamers of white cloud

And whispers of wind in the listening sky.

The names of those who in their lives fought for life,

Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.

Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun

And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
