way of speaking
The personal way in which someone formulates their thoughts and feelings in language, both orally and in writing.
Er hat eine sehr gewählte Ausdrucksweise, die auf eine gute Bildung schließen lässt.
He has a very refined way of speaking, which suggests a good education.
The word is made up of 'Ausdruck' (expression) and 'Weise' (way). So it literally means the 'Art und Weise' (manner/way) in which one 'ausdrückt' (expresses oneself) linguistically.
Ihre Ausdrucksweise ist sehr präzise.

'Ausdrucksweise' (way of speaking) is very often combined with adjectives that describe style. Common examples are a 'klare' (clear), 'einfache' (simple), 'gehobene' (elevated), 'vulgäre' (vulgar), or 'gewählte' (refined) Ausdrucksweise.

Since it describes a personal quality, 'Ausdrucksweise' (way of speaking) often appears with a possessive pronoun (meine, seine, ihre ...) or in the construction 'eine ... Ausdrucksweise haben' (to have a ... way of speaking).

language
'die Sprache' and 'die Ausdrucksweise' can both describe how someone speaks or writes. Here, 'Sprache' is the broader term and can mean the style of a person, a text, or a particular field. 'Ausdrucksweise' refers more specifically to the personal way of formulating thoughts and feelings. Learners may confuse the words because both relate to style. If you specifically mean a person's phrasing, 'Ausdrucksweise' is often more precise.
