This document proposes an idea for a language and cultural context presentation. It would discuss how identity is constructed through flexible language use based on social context. Students would analyze examples of how people vary their language with different audiences, such as in texts, tweets, or conversations. They would then hold a live discussion where they adopt different personas and language styles to demonstrate how cultural factors influence communication. The goal is for students to understand how audience, purpose, culture and context shape language use and meaning.
