Response: Academic Language Herr (2007) claimed that academic language represents the language demands of school (academics). Academic Language Academic language includes language used in textbooks, in classrooms, in tests, and in subject disciplines. Its vocabulary and structure are different from the everyday spoken English of social interactions Academic Language 5 Language 01 FORMAL 02 COMPLEX FEATURES 03 OBJECTIVE of an 04 SPECIFIC ACADEMIC TEXT 05 CONCISE  01 Formal One of the most important academic writing skills is the ability to write in a formal style and manner. Writers employing the formal academic style avoid jargon, slang, and abbreviations. 01 Formal INFORMAL FORMAL “24K Magic” by Bruno Mars is truly a superb musical piece worth I’m really amazed with the song “24K Magic” by Bruno sharing.

Written texts are lexically dense compared to spoken language - they have proportionately more lexical words than grammatical words. Written texts are shorter and have longer, more complex words and phrases. They have more noun-based phrases, more nominalizations, and more lexical variation. The lexical meaning of a word refers to its dictionary definition or its basic, literal meaning, independent of any context or usage in sentences. 02 complex SPOKEN LANGUAGE WRITTEN LANGUAGE Because the technology has improved its Improvements in technology have reduced the less risky than it used to be when you install risks and high costs associated with simultaneous them at the same time, and it doesn't cost so installation. much either. "Well, you know, climate change is really "Climate change significantly impacts having a big impact on, like, all sorts of biodiversity." different species and their habitats." 03 Objective Being objective suggests that a writer is concerned about facts and is not influenced by personal feelings or biases. Part of being objective is being fair in work. It tries to consider both sides of an argument and avoid making value judgements by using words such as “wonderful” or “appalling”. Being objective also makes your work more professional and credible. 03 objective Examples Instead of several, being objective uses the exact number (e.g. 10). Instead of using “most of the population”, it uses the exact statistic (e.g.70%). Instead of using some time ago, it uses specific span of time (e.g. Three years ago; or in 2006). Avoid using intensifiers such as awfully, very, really  04 SPECIFIC Each discipline uses its own discipline-specific variations of academic language. Sometimes the meaning of this language overlaps between disciplines, while in other instances it may carry an entirely different meaning. For instance, there are multiple uses of the word “perspective” in art, and although some of these uses may be similar to how it might be used when discussing science or history, there are certain uses that are entirely unique to the discipline. 04 SPECIFIC In addition to shared language, there is academic language that is entirely unique within a given discipline. It may eventually become so specialized within such discipline that it could become entirely unrecognizable to those outside the discipline. 04 SPECIFIC Examples 1. The star player of Barangay Ginebra Kings, Japhet Aguilar banked a crucial score in the quarter. 2. There is a need to purchase a mouse for a netbook for a more convenient usage. 05 Concise In writing academic papers, avoid vague expressions (e.g., "they," "we," "people," "the company," "that area," etc.). Being concise in writing also includes avoiding vague references to persons, places, or things. 05 Concise Being concise avoids wordiness which enables writer to focus on being straightforward and developing a narrative that does not have confusing language. This intends to eliminate the possibility of the reader misinterpreting the content of writing. 05 Concise Example According to Secretary Eduardo Año, motorcycle back riding will be allowed, but only for couples living in the same house under general community quarantine and modified general community quarantine starting July 10, 2020. Note: The person’s name is written completely instead of using vague expression such as “according to a reliable source.” Common Examples of Academic Writing According to Bailey (2011) in his handbook Academic Writing, the following are most common examples of academic writing: Notes Report Project Essay Dissertation/ Thesis Paper Common Examples of Academic Writing 1.
