Context-embedded definition
Context-embedded merely means more context is provided for the information conveyed (e.g. visuals); “context-embedded communication is more typical of everyday world outside the classroom, whereas many of the linguistic demands of the classroom reflect communication which is closer to the context-reduced end of the continuum” (Cummins, 1984:12-13). “Context-reduced” thus means no extra context is provided. For example, an academic textbook is not entirely without context, but if the teacher does not provide additional clues to convey the meaning in the textbook, it is context-reduced (Sun, 2016:852).
