| 1. Oral communication
in formal and Informal settings requires the ability to talk
with people of different ages, genders, and cultures, to adapt
presentations to different audiences, and to reflect on how
talk varies in different situations.
Students:
- engage in conversations and discussions
on academic, technical, and community subjects, anticipating
- listeners' needs and skillfully addressing
them
- express their thoughts and views clearly
with attention to the perspectives and voiced concerns of
the others in
- the conversation
- use appropriately the language conventions
for a wide variety of social situations, such as informal
conversations, first meetings with peers or adults, and
more formal situations such as Job interviews or customer
services.
This is evident, for example, when students:
- take part in and conduct meetings
of student organizations
- interact with community members through
community service
- experience or part-time jobs
- interview for a job or college acceptance
- great visitors at school performances
or sports banquets.

Written communication
for social interaction requires using written messages to establish,
maintain, and enhance personal relationships with others.
Students:
- use a variety of print and electronic
forms for social communication with peers and adults
- make effective use of language and
style to connect the message with the audience and context
- study the social conventions and language
conventions of writers from other groups and cultures and
use those conventions to communicate with members of those
groups.
This is evident, for example, when students:
- participate in electronic discussion
groups (e.g., listserv)
- write letters and personal essays
as part of college application
- write personal notes and letters that
entertain and interest the recipient
