    The document summarizes a video presentation about the differences between spoken and written language. It provides a table contrasting spoken and written language, noting that spoken language is quicker to produce, more direct and interactive, relies on non-linguistic clues, and is a social activity for integrating people into groups. Written language allows communication over long distances, is more permanent and visible, can be processed and leisurely scanned, and preserves information beyond an individual's memory. The document also contains an activity asking the student to match examples to five language registers: frozen, formal, consultative, casual/informal, and intimate.
