The students need to ne taught the language of formal invitation because they should be learn how
to make a formal invitation. If the students do not understand the language of formal invitation,
they can not make a formal invitation.

The students need to write a formal invitation in English in the future if they are working as a
secretary in a company that need to write business invitation for an event to foreign company.

The more I reflected on this thread in focus, the more I began to realize that each invitation we
might extend to students requires a certain amount of vulnerability. I’ve long been a believer that as
the adult in the room, we should be the ones placing ourselves at the most vulnerable place in the
conversation, but believing that and living that out are different experiences. The reality is that
leading new, risky, “out their” change will almost always involve operating out of a vulnerable
posture. Embrace it. (Just so you know, I’m telling myself as much as I’m telling you.)

Here are a few ways we can engage students in an invitation into something more. They start out
relatively easy, but the level of vulnerability required feels like it exponentially increases as the
invitations continue.

for e.g: Invite Students To Share Your Story, Invite Students to Teach, etc

The language of formal invitation need to be taught, it is because:

An invitation is a written or verbal request inviting someone to go somewhere or to do

something. An invitation is a request, a solicitation, or an attempt to get another person to join you
at a specific event. When the students ask people to attend a party, visit your beach house, or
witness your marriage, you invite them by giving them an invitation.

It can be in the form of an invitation card which is generally considered as formal invitation or it may
be in the letter format which is more informal.

As the one of important thing of invitation formally is language in a formal in use, so the formal
language is should be taught to get best invitation form. The students can apply the languge in a well
arrangement in formal case. They can use it anytimes, anywhere and anyhow appropiately to the
condition which needs of formal language in use to make formal invitation, well. For example when
the students wants to hold an international debate competition, they should make an invitation to
invite participants to come using language formally.

The language of formal invitation need to be taught to the students because they must know how to
make a formal invitation. To be able to construct the good formal invitation, the students must know
what is the social function of the text, the generic structure and lexico-grammatical feature.

In what situation in the future do students need to make/write invitation in English?

In my opinion, after the students are graduated from school or university, maybe they work in a big
company as a secretary. An invitation letter serves the purpose of inviting a guest to a party, an
event or a celebration while conveying more information. The one of secretary tasks is make
business invitation letter. In a big company there are foreigners and the connection of its company is
also with big companies even abroad. So, the language which is used is an international language
that is English. If the students have known it well , it will help their task when they are working.

the language features of formal invitation. Therefore, they can make a formal invitation in good
writing, with good language.

will remind all of the members of reunion about the sweet memories during they study at school.

the job deals with English invitation letter are:

1. Secretary in foreign company. They will make the invitation for hard written or electronic with
business purposes.

2. English Teacher. They will remember about invitation letter they learnt during study at school and
university.

3. Members of Event Organizer who deal with foreign artists especially holding music concert.

The elements should be in a formal invitation just like my dear friends' answers, in my opinions,
there are two types of invitation, formal and informal.

 The formal invitation is an invitation which follows a dignified form, tone or style in
agreement with the established norms, customs, or values (Webster, 2012). For
example graduation ceremony, wedding, grand opening, etc.

 The informal invitation is a personal invitation given to a friend, family-like birthday

party, family gathering.

I will try to answer the thread:

1. What makes an invitation formal? (the language, the relation between the sender and receiver,
the event to be visited)

Answer:

The language can make the invitation formal. A formal invitation uses formal language, not informal
or slang language.

The event of the formal invitation is formal event, for example: company anniversary invitation,
wedding invitation, business invitation.

2. Because the students formal relation is only the school, please design a situation in which
students may make formal invitation.

Answer:

The situation in which students may make formal invitation is when there is graduation party
invitation. Therefore, the students can try to make invitation based on that situation. Another
situation is when the students join extra curricular for example Scout, English Club, Cross Red. They
can try to make formal invitation to have a meeting on those extra curricular.
