EAPP 1^st^ QUARTER REVIEWER **Fundamental Considerations on Text Production** I. Factors that Affect Writing and Speaking 1. Topic 2. The role of the writer. 3. The purpose of the material 4. Target audience II. Aspects of Professional and Academic Language 1. Formality a. The levels of formality are **formal**, **semi-formal**, and **informal**. 2. Objectivity - Academic and professional language should be objective and unbiased. According to (**Markel & Selber, 2018**). Things you should avoid to ensure objectivity in your language: a. **Personal language** - In academic and professional writing and speaking, personal experience is only a support for the development of the main idea. It should not be the main idea itself. b. **Emotive language** - This type of language appeals to the emotions or values of the audience. c. **Judgmental language** - This language shows the personal judgment of the writer or speaker. 3. Explicitness - Use clear and direct language. *Why do we need to use signaling words?* - *They help the readers follow the flow of ideas.* - *They show the relationships between ideas.* - *Using signaling words makes your writing more coherent and can emphasize important points.* - - **However** -- Signals a contrast or exception. *Example: "She studied hard for the test; however, she didn't perform as well as expected."* - **Because** - Shows a reason or cause. *Example: "He was late because his car broke down."* - **In** **addition** - Adds more information to the previous point. *Example: "She's an excellent musician. In addition, she is a talented painter."* - **For** **example** - Introduces an example that illustrates the previous statement. 4. Hedging - refers to the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well as to demonstrate politeness and indirectness (enago,com., 2020). Hedging is used to soften one's words and to avoid making a direct statement, or committing to a particular action or decision. **Note Taking and Citation** I. **Plagiarism -** The act of copying someone else's ideas or words without giving proper credit. 1.
