 Academic language represents the language demands of school (academics).
Academic language includes language used in textbooks, in classrooms, on
tests, and in each discipline.
 Academic vocabulary is used in all academic disciplines to teach about the
content of the discipline, e.g., a water table is different from a periodic
elements table. Before taking chemistry, for example, some students know
the technical words used in chemistry, while others do not.
 Academic structure also includes the established ways of organizing writing
(which can affect how one reads) in a discipline.
