Describe three ways to best adapt your language style to diverse listeners
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Answers should include using understandable language, including incorporating Standard American English for your audience’s needs; using respectful language (avoids language that could be offensive to people of particular ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds or sexual orientations; women; or people with disabilities. The speaker’s language should not defame any group or be considered offensive or risqué); and using unbiased language (such as using the pronouns his or her or referring to a fireman as a firefighter).
