          • Definition(s)
            • Context-embedded language refers to communication that occurs in a context of shared understanding, where there are cues or signals that help to reveal the meaning (e.g. visual clues, gestures, expressions, specific location). WETA
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Cummins' model (see Figure 1) consists of two intersecting continuums: the first from context-embedded language to context-reduced language, and the second from cognitively undemanding language (which requires little conscious attention to language forms or choices) to cognitively demanding language (which requires the active cognitive efforts of the speaker/writer to produce). - Thomas and Collier Research by
            • Children who receive functional and context-embedded language instruction are more likely to have a positive attitude about learning and a heightened self-concept. - Education Resources Information Center by
            • While these teachers often overestimate ESL students’ academic level of proficiency, Emily’s description (below) suggests that she is aware that while the students have a good grasp of BICS (context-embedded language), they lack CALP (context-reduced language). Her contention is that this will prove particularly problematic for the students the following year in high school. - Lynne Wiltse by

            • kontextbundet språk
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Kontextbundet språk kännetecknar vardagsspråkets register, samtalskompetensen, medan kontextreducerat språk är ett abstrakt, mindre personligt och ämnesspecifikt språk som till exempel skolans mer kunskapsrelaterade register. Stockholms Universitet - by Anna Herbst
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Genom att använda ett kontextbundet språk behöver den vuxne inte använda korta meningar i tron att barnet annars inte förstår. Det blir begripligt i alla fall. –Om jag håller upp ett bananskal, pekar på papperskorgen och säger: "Släng bananskalet i papperskorgen" är det inte krångligare för barnet att förstå än "Släng det här där". När ska barnet annars lära sig orden "bananskal" och "papperskorg", om det inte får ett sådant inflöde? - Förskolan by Anna Herbst
            • Att uttrycka sig allt mer explicit innebär med Cummins (2000) termer att gå från det kontextbundna (context-embedded) register som används i vardagsspråket till skolans mer kontextreducerade (context-reduced), kunskapsrelaterade register, skriver hon vidare (Gibbons 2006:22 f.). - Skolverket - Språk och Lärande by Anna Herbst
            • Dessutom är språket kontextbundet; vi talar olika beroende på vem vi talar med, vad vi talar om, var och när vi talar. - Focis by Anna Herbst
