CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 1 Professional Purposes _ Module 1  What I Know To be guided with your journey in this module, let us start by working on this pre-test. Test I. Direction: Categorize the information based on their characteristics below by filling in the table to differentiate academic text from non-academic text. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper. Everyday Events To inform and/or validate idea To entertain Scholarly audience Contains slang and colloquialisms Subjective Related literature Introduction-Body-Conclusion No fixed structure Research papers, Reports Diaries, Informal essays Objective Public Formal Characteristics Academic Text Non-Academic Text Audience Purpose Structure Language Style Source of content Examples Test II. Direction: Read the passages and determine how the information is being organized. Choose your answer from the list of words below. Write the letter of your choice on a separate sheet of paper. (ereadingworksheets.com) a. Narrative b. Cause and Effect c. chronological/sequence d. Descriptive e. Problem-Solution f. Compare & Contrast ______1. Ice-cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in a many different colors and flavors. Two of my favorite flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit while chocolate usually will not. Even though more chocolate ice-cream is sold across the country annually than strawberry, each flavor tastes great inside of a milk shake. _______2. The ice-cream shop around the corner from my house has the best ice-cream in the city. When you first walk inside, there is a long chrome counter with matching stools extending to alongside the far wall. Right where the counter stops, the booth seating begins. There are lots of old-timey knickknacks on the walls and chrome napkin holders on all the tables. My favorite part of the shop is behind the counter glass, where they keep all of the ice- cream flavors. A rainbow of delicious sugary flavors is kept cool and delicious behind the counter glass. ______3. Freezer burn may have wasted more ice-cream than sidewalks. If you don’t know, freezer burn is when ice crystals form on the surface of ice-cream. These ice crystals can ruin the texture and flavor of the ice cream. But you can prevent freezer burn. Since freezer burn is caused when melted ice-cream is refrozen, CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 2 Professional Purposes _ Module 1  rather than eating your ice-cream from the container as it melts, scoop your ice- cream into a bowl and put the container back in the fridge immediately. Doing this ought to help you solve your issues with freezer burn. ____4. Have you ever had an ice-cream headache? That’s when a painful sensation resonates in your head after eating something cold (usually ice-cream) on a hot day. This pain is produced by the dilation of a nerve center in the roof of your mouth. The nerve center is overreacting to the cold by trying to heat your brain. Ice-cream headaches have turned many smiles to frowns. ____5. One time my mom and I made ice-cream. We added sugar and cream into a big glass bowl. We kept it frozen in the middle of a bigger glass bowl. While it froze, I stirred the mixture with a hand mixer. It was the first time that had I used one and it splattered ice-cream mixture all over the kitchen. The rest of the mixture finally froze, so we ate some ice cream, and then put the remaining portions in the freezer so that it wouldn’t get freezer burned. That was a good day. Test III. Direction: Summarize the paragraph below in 2-3 sentences. “The Northern Lights” There are times when the night sky glows with bands of color. The bands may begin as cloud shapes and then spread into a great arc across the entire sky. They may fall in folds like a curtain drawn across the heavens. The lights usually grow brighter, then suddenly dim. During this time the sky glows with pale yellow, pink, green, violet, blue, and red. These lights are called the Aurora Borealis. Some people call them the Northern Lights. Scientists have been watching them for hundreds of years. They are not quite sure what causes them. In ancient times people were afraid of the Lights. They imagined that they saw fiery dragons in the sky. Some even concluded that the heavens were on fire.

What is it Nature and Characteristics of an Academic Text An academic text is a written language that provides information, which contain ideas and concepts that are related to the particular discipline. Essay, Research Paper, Report, Project, Article, Thesis, and Dissertation are considered as academic texts. CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 4 Professional Purposes _ Module 1 Structure The basic structure that is used by an academic text is consist of three (3) parts introduction, body, and conclusion which is formal and logical. This kind of structure enables the reader to follow the argument and navigate the text. In academic writing a clear structure and a logical flow are imperative to a cohesive text. Tone This refers to the attitude conveyed in a piece of writing. The arguments of others are fairly presented and with an appropriate narrative tone. When presenting a position or argument that disagrees with one’s perspectives, describe the argument accurately without loaded or biased language. Language It is important to use unambiguous language. Clear topic sentences enable a reader to follow your line of thinking without difficulty. Formal language and the third person point- of-view should be used. Technical language appropriate to area of study may also be used, however, it does not mean using “big words” just for the sake of doing so. Citation Citing sources in the body of the paper and providing a list of references as either footnotes or endnotes is a very important aspect of an academic text. It is essential to always acknowledge the source of any ideas, research findings, data, or quoted text that have been used in a paper as a defense against allegations of plagiarism. Complexity An academic text addresses complex issues that require higher-order thinking skills to comprehend. Evidence-based Arguments What is valued in an academic text is that opinions are based on a sound understanding of the pertinent body of knowledge and academic debates that exist within, and often external to a specific discipline. Thesis-driven The starting point of an academic text is a particular perspective, idea or position applied to the chosen research problem, such as establishing, proving, or disproving solutions to the questions posed for the topic. CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 5 Professional Purposes _ Module 1 Features of Academic Texts: 1. Complex - Written language has no longer words, it is lexically more varied vocabulary. - Written texts are shorter and the language has more grammatical complexity, including more subordinate clauses and more passives. 2. Formal - Should avoid colloquial words and expressions. 3. Precise - Facts are given accurately and precisely. 4. Objective - has fewer words that emphasize on the information you want to give and the arguments you want to make - mostly use nouns (adjectives), rather than verbs (adverbs) 5. Explicit - It is the responsibility of the writer in English to make it clear to the reader how the various parts of the text are related. 6. Accurate - Uses vocabulary accurately - Most subjects have words with narrow specific meanings. 7. Hedging - It is necessary to make decisions about your stance on a particular subject, or the strength of the claims you are making. 8. Responsible - You must be responsible for and must be able to provide evidence and justification for any claims you make. 9. Organize - Well-organized. - It flows easily from one section to the next in a logical fashion. 10. Plan - Well-planned. - It usually takes place after research and evaluation, according to specific purpose and plan. Purposes in Reading an Academic Text 1. To locate a main idea; 2. To scan for information; 3. To identify gaps in existing studies; 4. To connect new ideas to existing ones; 5. To gain more pieces of information; 6.

Academic Language Academic language is the language needed by students to do the work in schools. It includes, for example, discipline-specific vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, and applications of rhetorical conventions and devices that are typical for a content area (e.g., essays, lab reports, discussions of a controversial issue.) Students who master academic language are more likely to be successful in academic and professional settings. Social language is the set of vocabulary that allows us to communicate with others in the context of regular daily conversations. Here are some of the differences between social and academic language includes: Social Language Academic Language In everyday interactions in In textbooks, research papers, conferences spoken/written form in spoken/written form For everyday conversation Used in school/work conversations Used to write to friends, family, or for Appropriate for written papers, classwork, other social purposes homework Informal, such as words like ''cool,'' Very formal and more sophisticated in its ''guy,'' ''kidding'') expressions, such as words like ''appropriate,'' ''studies,'' ''implementation'' Can use slang expressions Don't use slang Can be repetitive Uses a variety of terms Can use phrases Uses sentences Sentences don't follow grammar Sentences begin with appropriate conventions necessarily, with phrases transitions, like, ''moreover'' or ''in like, ''you're hungry?'' addition'') (Social & Academic Language Acquisition: Differences & Characteristics, 2020) CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 7 Professional Purposes _ Module 1 Characteristics of Academic Language A.

It should be based on facts and evidence and are not influenced by personal feelings. C. Impersonal - This involves avoiding the personal pronouns ‘I’ and ‘we’. For example, instead of writing ‘I will show’, you might write ‘this report will show’. The second person, ‘you’, is also to be avoided. Let us see now how well you know about the structure of an academic text. Belowis the activity that you are going to do. What’s More Instruction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if is not. 1.

Key to answers on page 27 Key to answers on page 27 What is it Techniques in Summarizing Academic Texts Summarizing is how we take larger selections of text and reduce them to their bare essentials: the gist, the key ideas, the main points that are worth noting and remembering. Webster's calls a summary the "general idea in brief form"; it's the distillation, condensation, or reduction of a larger work into its primary notions. (“Reading Quest Strategies | Summarizing”) Basic Rules: A. Erase things that don’t matter. Delete trivial material that is unnecessary to understanding. B. Erase things that repeat. Delete redundant material. In note taking, time and space is precious. If a word or phrase says basically the same thing you have already written down, then don’t write it again! C. Trade, general terms for specific names. Substitute superordinate terms for lists (e.g., flowers for daisies, tulips for roses). Focus on the big picture. Long, technical lists are hard to remember. If one word will give you the meaning, then less is more. D. Use your own words to write the summary. Write the summary using your own words but make sure to retain the main points. Techniques: 1. Somebody Wanted But So. The strategy helps students generalize, recognize cause and effect relationships, and find main ideas. Somebody Wanted But So Then (Who is the (What did the (What was the (How was the (Tell how text about?)main character problem problem solved?) the story want?) encountered?) ends.)

He got to her grandmother’s house first and pretended to be the old woman. He was going to eat Little Red Riding Hood, but she realized what he was doing and ran away, crying for help. A woodsman heard the girl’s cries and saved her from the wolf. 2. SAAC Method. This method is particularly helpful in summarizing any kind of text. SAAC is an acronym for “State, Assign, Action, Complete.” Each word in the acronym refers to a specific element that should be included in the summary. State Assign Action Complete (the name of the (the name of the (what the author is (complete the article, book, or author) doing (example: sentence or story) tells, explains)) summary with keywords and important details) “The Boy Who Aesop (a Greek tells what happens Cried Wolf” storyteller) when a shepherd boy repeatedly lies to the villagers about seeing a wolf Use the four SAAC cues to write out a summary of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" in complete sentences: "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," by Aesop (a Greek storyteller), tells what happens when a shepherd boy repeatedly lies to the villagers about seeing a wolf. After a while, they ignore his false cries. Then, when a wolf really does attack, they don’t come to help him. 3. 5 W's, 1 H. This technique relies on six crucial questions: who, what, when where, why, and how. These questions make it easy to identify the main character, important details, and main idea. Kris Bales, “5 Easy SUMMARIZING Strategies for Students,” ThoughtCo, accessed August 4, 2021, https://www.thoughtco.com/summarizing-strategies-for-students- CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 19 Professional Purposes _ Module 1 Try this technique with a familiar fable such as "The Tortoise and the Hare." Who is the What did When did Where did Why did the How did story they do? the action the story main the main about? take place? happen? character do character what s/he do what did? s/he did? The He raced a When isn’t An old The tortoise The tortoise quick, specified in country was tired of tortoise boastful this story, so road hearing the kept up his hare and it’s not hare boast slow but won. important in about his steady this case. speed. pace. 4. First Then Finally. This technique helps students summarize events in chronological order. First: What happened first? Include the main character and main event/action. Then: What key details took place during the event/action? Finally: What were the results of the event/action? Here is an example using "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." First, Goldilocks entered the bears' home while they were gone. Then, she ate their food, sat in their chairs, and slept in their beds. Finally, she woke up to find the bears watching her, so she jumped up and ran away. 5. Give Me the Gist. This type of techniques is like giving a friend the gist of a story. In other words, they want a summary – not a retelling of every detail.

You are now equipped on how to summarize. Here is what you should do next. CO_Q1_SHS English for Academic and 20 Professional Purposes _ Module 1  What’s More Activity 3. Direction: Read the text below. Write a 3-5 sentence summary of the following text using any of the techniques mentioned above. Use a separate sheet in writing your summary. Understanding Calories (1) A calorie, also known as kilocalorie, is a unit of energy. This unit represents the energy required to heat a kilogram of water on degree Celsius. While people generally Link the term calorie with food, it is a unit of measurement that can be applied to any substance possessing energy. For instance, there are 8200 calories in a litter (about one quart) of gasoline. (2) Calories describe the potential energy in food to maintain bodily functions, grow or repair tissue, and perform mechanical work such as exercise. Food calories may take the form of fat, carbohydrates, or proteins. Once consumed, enzymes act on these nutrients through metabolic processes and break them into their perspective categories of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. These molecules travel through the blood stream to specific cells where they are absorbed for immediate use or sent on to the final stage of metabolism where they release their stored energy through the process of oxidation. (3) The number of calories burned during an exercise depends on various factors including body weight and the type of exercise. For example, an individual weighing 59 kilograms (130 pounds) would expend roughly 500calories per hour swimming or playing basketball. However, this same person would burn an estimated 200 walking or playing table tennis. In order to survive and maintain body weight, the average individual requires approximately 2000 to 2500 calories per day. Gaining or losing weight is a simple process. Add and subtract 7,700 calories over the course of time to gain or lose a kilogram. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. It is all about calories.

Direction: Read the text entitled “From the Autopsy Surgeon’s Report” and answer the questions that follow. Write your answers on a separated sheet. From the Autopsy Surgeon’s Report Death occurred from the effects of asphyxia, cerebral anemia, and shock. The victim’s hair was used for the constriction ligature. Local marks of the ligature were readily discernible: there were some abrasions and a slight ecchymosis in the skin. But I found no obvious lesion in the blood vessels of the neck. Cyanosis of the head was very slight and there were no pronounced hemorrhages in the galea of the scalp. I should judge that very great compression was affected almost immediately, with compression of the arteries as well as of the vein, and that the superior laryngeal nerve was traumatized in the effect of throwing the victim into profound shock… The lungs revealed cyanosis, congestion, over aeration, and subpleural petechial hemorrhages… 1. What does the author want to convey to the readers? 2. How does the author present his ideas? 3. What are the signal words used in the text? 4. How do the signal words helped in organizing the author’s ideas? Test II.
