Some Pertinent Ideas
According to Brown and Yule, as cited in Richards (2008), three functions of speech exist. A partial version of Brown and Yule's system: talk as interaction, talk as transaction, talk as output. There are key points of the novice speaker that are somewhat organized, but the content of these points may overlap. The advanced speaker explains how data is important to the audience, and his speech is adapted to their beliefs, values and attitudes.
His speech is minimally tailored to the audience and some of the ideas discussed in the speech are left out of the audience's frame of reference or perspective. An unsuccessful speaker's speech conflicts with the attitudes, values, and behaviors of the audience. Her speech has visuals that offer a clear insight into the topic of the speech, and her visuals are.
A novice speaker's visual aids are usually created and clarified, although minor errors may be present in the visuals. At the beginning of the speaker's speech, the question and the solution are clear, and the evidence confirms the utmost calmness. Finally, these competences must be modified, expanded and implemented in such a way as to best suit the requirements of the speaking situation.
In everyday speech, this level is called "intermediate" and this term is actually the description of the official level in the CEFR. It is possible to recognize the rhythm of the language and distinguish its sounds. The brain assembles the bits of language it has absorbed through listening and reading, writing and listening practice.
Simply put, perception is the process by which we interpret the world around us, forming a mental representation of the environment. Based on this thought, the researcher agrees that students' perception is the main aspect of the language learning process, not only for evaluation, but it is also purposeful to increase understanding. Structural factors that influence an individual's perception of the current stimulus are systematic factors or situational factors.
