This Greeting Check-Up worksheet supports students as they build confidence with social cues, respectful communication, tone awareness, and situational judgment. By practicing how greetings change across casual, professional, and inappropriate contexts, learners strengthen social-emotional learning, language comprehension, and real-world communication skills.
