Same Idea, Different Audience: Listening
Listen to three C2 conversations about audience, register and grammatical density. Focus on main ideas, precise details, implied meaning and the speakers' evaluations.
You'll practice:
- Recognise audience-sensitive register choices.
- Identify nominalisation, agency, ellipsis and explicitness.
- Infer why speakers choose dense or expanded syntax.
- Evaluate whether complexity serves the audience.
