C. Lesson Proper

Academic writing is a particular style of writing that you need to use when writing formal essays and reports. Its goal is to
convey knowledge, data, and information in a clear, precise, concise, and objective manner. It uses words which are
formal, standard and impersonal. Persuasive and informative essays, and research papers are examples of this.

Features of Academic Writing

1.Complexity - Written language is relatively more complex than spoken language. Written language has longer words, it
is lexically denser and it has a more varied vocabulary. It uses more noun-based phrases than verb-based phrases.
 Written texts are shorter and the language has more grammatical complexity, including more subordinate clauses and
more passives.

2. Formality - Academic writing is relatively formal. In general, this means that in an essay you should avoid colloquial
words and expressions.
3. Precision - In academic writing, facts and figures are given precisely.
4. Objectivity - Written language is in general objective rather than personal. It therefore has fewer words that refer to
the writer or the reader. This means that the main emphasis should be on the information that you want to give and the
arguments you want to make, rather than you. For that reason, academic writing tends to use nouns (and adjectives),
rather than verbs (and adverbs).
5. Accuracy - Academic writing uses vocabulary accurately. Most subjects have words with narrow specific meanings.
Linguistics distinguishes clearly between "phonetics" and "phonemics"; general English does not.
6. Responsibility - In academic writing you must be responsible for, and must be able to provide evidence and justification
for, any claims you make. You are also responsible for demonstrating an understanding of any source texts you use.
