WHAT IS IT What is an Academic Language? Academic language represents the language demands of school (academics). Academic language includes language used in textbooks, in classrooms, on tests, and in each discipline. It is different in vocabulary and structure from the everyday spoken English of social interactions. Each type of communication (both academic and social) has its purpose, and neither is superior to the other. Academic writing is generally quite formal, objective (impersonal) and technical as illustrated in the diagram below. It is formal by avoiding casual or conversational language, such as contractions or informal vocabulary. It is impersonal and objective by avoiding direct reference to people or feelings, and instead emphasizing objects, facts and ideas. It is technical by using vocabulary specific to the discipline. Furthermore, you can make your writing more formal, objective and technical by following examples below. Formal Objective Technical Formal -avoid casual or conversational such as contractions and informal vocabulary Objective -avoid personal or direct reference to people or feelings Technical -use vocabulary specific to the discipline Academic Language 5.My friend likes coffee.

Stubbornly WHAT I HAVE LEARNED Let’s Remember This! To be a good academic writer, I need to learn the specific styles and structures for my own discipline, as well as for each individual writing task. Some ways to do this are to: ☺ask for more information from your lecturer or teacher ☺study the writing style of the academic articles in the most prestigious journals in your discipline ☺look at the successful writing by other students in your subject area. ☺Different disciplines often have quite different expectations about how objective or subjective my writing can be. For example, in some fields it is fine to use first person, such as 'my view is that...', while in other fields this is not acceptable. I should look at the convention used in published articles in my discipline area.
