There may be special meanings of "formal" and "informal" English with which I am not familiar. Formal English would be "standard English", and would be of more importance in written communication. Standard English would be the use of vocabulary and grammar that is as free as possible from idiomatic, slang or otherwise specialized use that would not be universally accepted or understood by fluent speakers world-wide.

Standard English provides a common communication platform for people from different regions and backgrounds to understand each other easily. It serves as a marker of education, professionalism, and formal discourse in various settings such as academia, business, and government. Standard English also helps to preserve cultural identity and heritage through literature, media, and formal documentation.
