Syntactic/Language
Instruction
When
working on developing language skills, it is
important for students to analyze their own language and to
work at improving their language through dialogue with an instructor.
Through this process students can create linguistic utterances
that achieve their desired communicative intentions.

Semantic
Instruction
The
comprehensibility of spoken discourse is affected
by a speaker’s semantic competence. For example, an inadequately
developed semantic network restricts flexibility and creativity
of expressive language. As a result, inappropriate word choices
may be made that can adversely affect message clarity and cohesiveness.
In order to enhance semantic productivity, language instruction
should include a focus on word meanings and word relationships.
