understand that language varies as levels of formality and social distance increase

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• recognising language protocols for formal address; for example, words used to address principals, heads of state and monarchs
• discussing levels of language such as slang, colloquial, conversational and formal, and how their appropriateness changes with the situation and audience
• presenting ideas and opinions at levels of formality appropriate to the context and audience
