Levi's English Journal

Spoken language influenced text language in lots of different ways, for example emoticons show different facial expressions(emoticons) such as, the way you talk to someone and they would pull faces. Text has taken the expressions, so when you are talking to show what mood you’re in. So that’s how spoken language influence text. For example you can send someone a rude text message but if you mean it as a joke you can put a facial expression so the reader knows that you are joking.

My example:

kl fam gonna link ur mum 2day tell her to meet me at king cross loooool 😀

Hello and welcome to your personal online journal.

This platform has been created to enhance and enrich your learning at the London Nautical School. Its purpose is to provide you with an audience for your work (or work-in-progress) and you have the choice (by altering the ‘visibility’ of your posts) of whether your work on here is visible to the world, or only to your teacher.

Anything you post here in the public domain represents you and thus it’s important that you take care with that decision, but don’t be afraid to publish your work – as the feedback you may get from people at home, your peers and people from around the internet is only likely to enhance it.

Remember you can always access your class blog and all manner of resources through the Edutronic.net main website – and by all means check out the sites of your peers to see what they’re getting up to as well.

If you have any questions for me, an excellent way to get an answer is to create a new private post on this journal. I am notified of any new posts and will reply swiftly to any queries.

Make the most of, and enjoy this new freedom in your English learning.

Righto!

Mr Waugh
