Also Known As: Content-Complementary Language.


You identified the Content-Obligatory Language and included it in the course design opportunities so that the students can master it. However, most domains contain more elements of a specific language: synonyms, proverbs, expressions, phrases, metaphors, etc..

***

Only mastering the obligatory language of a course’s content limits the students in their expressiveness and does not improve the overall quality of students’ language skills, even though it might be sufficient to fulfill the course’s requirements.

***

Therefore: Identify the language constructs and expressions of the course domain which are additional to the obligatory language. Create opportunities for learning these in your course design and course execution.
