1. In your own words explain what you understand about the concepts below: Support
your explanation with examples.
1.1. Formal language
1.2. Didactics
1.3. Genres
1.4. Explicit learning
1.5. Incidental learning
1.1. Formal language: Formal language refers to a style of communication used in
professional, academic, or official settings. It follows strict grammar rules, avoids slang,
and is often more structured and polite. An example is a formal speech at a conference
or the language used in academic papers.
1.2. Didactics: Didactics refers to the art or science of teaching and instructional
methods. It focuses on how teachers deliver content, structure lessons, and engage
learners to facilitate learning. For instance, a teacher using interactive activities to teach
math concepts is applying didactics to make learning effective.
1.3. Genres: Genres are categories or types of artistic, literary, or musical work that
share common characteristics. In literature, genres include fiction, non-fiction, poetry,
and drama. For example, a detective novel is a genre of fiction with specific features like
suspense and mystery.
1.4. Explicit learning: Explicit learning is a conscious, intentional process where learners
are aware of what they are learning and the rules behind it. This often occurs in formal
education settings. An example is a student being taught grammar rules in a language
class and consciously applying them in writing.
1.5. Incidental learning: Incidental learning is unintentional or unplanned learning that
happens as a by-product of other activities. For example, a child might learn new
vocabulary while playing a video game, even though the game’s main goal is
entertainment, not education.
