LET’S LEARN!

TARGET MELC Differentiate language used in academic texts from various discipline SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Determine various kinds of academic texts; Differentiate academic LANGUAGE from non- academic LANGUAGE; and 3. value the importance of learning academic language of various disciplines . . .

Directions: Read the following passages from various texts. After which, determine the topic of each passage and tell whether it is from formal article or informal text . PASSAGE #1: Evidence suggests that the vocal machinery necessary for autonomous speech developed quite recently in hominid evolution. Grammatical language may well have begun to emerge around 2 million years ago but would at first have been primary gestural, though no doubt punctuated with grunts and other vocal cries that were at first largely involuntary and emotional. The complex adjustments necessary to produce speech as we know it today would have taken some time to evolve and may not have been complete until some 170,000 years ago, or even later., when Home sapiens emerged to grace, but more often disgrace, the planet. These adjustments may have been incomplete even in our close relatives thae Neanderthals; arguably, it was this failure that contributed to their demise. - From Hand to Mouth Michael C. Corballis

PASSAGE #2: “In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply cannot build my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heaven, I think it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.” - Diary of Anne Frank s

PASSAGE #3: The pandemic has adverse implications on international progress toward most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Ferguson et al. ( 2020 ) reported simulations showing that the COVID-19 pandemic, left unchecked, can rapidly overwhelm the healthcare systems of even affluent countries. They also showed how aggressive suppression measures—i.e., lockdowns with stringent restrictions on the mobility of the public—can delay the progress of the pandemic to minimize the strain on healthcare capacity. Numerous countries responded by imposing lockdowns and other nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to “flatten the curve” and spread out COVID-19 cases over a more extended period (Ferguson et al.  2020 ). - Process integration for emerging challenges: optimal allocation of antivirals under resource Constraints s

PASSAGE #4: Romeo: My dear? Juliet: At what o'clock tomorrow? Shall I send to thee? Romeo: By the hour of nine. Juliet: I will not fail. 'Tis twenty years till then. I have forgot why I did call thee back. Romeo: Let me stand here till thou remember it. Juliet: I shall forget, to have thee still stand there, Rememb'ring how I love thy company. Romeo: And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget, Forgetting any other home but this. - William Shakespeare

What You Have to Know Academic writing is not only challenging but also fulfilling however, it requires proper preparation, continuous practice, and enticing motivation to master the language use (vocabulary, grammar, syntax, etc.) because academic writing requires academic language.

What is jargon? Merriam- Webster Dictionary defines jargon as “obscure and often pretentious language marked by circumlocutions and long words” which are usually used in academic writings. It is the “complex language used by experts in a certain discipline or field”. Technical word is its simpler term.

Grammar in academic language is also of context complexity like in the used of noun phrases. A sentence in here does not only contain one single idea but two or more in support or in addition to the main thought.

SIMPLE SENTENCE COMPOUND SENTENCE COMPLEX SENTENCE Kristina drank her morning coffee.   Kristina drank her morning coffee, and then she showered and dressed.     Because she woke up late when her alarm malfunctioned, Kristina showered and dressed after drinking her morning coffee. Kristina showered and dressed.     Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early. Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, and they left on the bus before I arrived. Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, Joe did not see them at the station.

Directions: Use subordinating conjunctions (though, if, when, because, etc.) to connect the sentences into one complex sentence. Use the blank space for your answer. 1. Henry needs to learn English. Miss Reyes will teach him. Franklin wants to get a new job. He is preparing for job interviews. Alexander has been working sixty hours a week. There is an important presentation next week. The car was extremely expensive. Bob didn't have much money. He bought the car. Dean sometimes goes to the cinema. He enjoys going with his friend Doug. Doug visits once a month.

Academic language it refers to the oral, written, auditory, and visual language proficiency usually reads, writes, and presents in schools and academic programs. It is the language used in classroom lessons, books, and tests which requires formality in vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, syntax, and discipline- specific terminology.

ACADEMIC LANGUAGE Academic language used in academic writing is far different from those fictional articles you read during your leisure time. Academic language is more complex which needs thorough comprehension of the language content. The use of the technical vocabulary is highly recommended in academic text. Academic writing is a formal and impersonal style of writing. Colloquialisms should be avoided in academic texts. Academic texts usually use citation and reference in writing. Vocabulary, grammar, syntax, style, punctuation, abbreviation, and other language components The t echnical terms used for a specific discipline is what we called jargons. Academic language is used in all academic and scholarly articles.

ACADEMIC TEXTS DESCRIPTION Scientific Journal a periodical publication intended to further the progress of science, usually by reporting new research Case Study a process or record of research in which detailed consideration is given to the development of a particular person, group, or situation over a period of time: Research Study a detailed study of a subject, especially in order to discover (new) information or reach a (new) understanding Academic Journal a periodical publication in which scholarship relating to a particular academic discipline is published Thesis a long essay or dissertation involving personal research, written by a candidate for a college degree: Book Report an essay discussing the contents of a book, written as part of a class assignment Essay a short piece of writing on a particular subject. Conference Paper a written summary of a presentation given at a conference Abstract a summary of the contents of a book, article, or formal speech Review a critical appraisal of a book, play, movie, exhibition, etc., published in a newspaper or magazine: DIFFERENT KINDS OF ACADEMIC TEXTS

NON- ACADEMIC LANGUAGE The intended audience for non- academic writing are mass public. Casual or informal language is usually accepted in non- academic writings. Non-academic texts are commonly personal in mood and opinion.

General Features of Academic Language Complexity It uses more noun-based phrases than verb-based phrases. including more subordinate clauses and more passives. 2 . Formality It is relatively formal which means colloquial words and idiomatic expressions should be avoided including two- word verbs. 3. Precision Facts and figures are given precisely so, referencing and citation are highly recommended. 4. Objectivity It is not personal.

First-person point of view: Several people have made a lasting impression on me. I remember one person in particular who was significant to me . Dr. Smith, my high school English teacher, helped my family and me through a difficult time during my junior year. We appreciated her care, kindness, and financial help after the loss of our home in a devastating fire.

Third-person point of view: The bosses at the company have decided that employees need a day of in-house training. Times have been scheduled for everyone. Several senior employees will be required to make five-minute presentations. One is not eager to speak in front of others since he’s very shy. Another one, however, is anxious to relate their expertise. The variation in routine should provide an interesting day for all people concerned.

Inappropriate Use of “You” Revised to Replace “You” Quality of education decreases when  you  allow overcrowded classrooms. (Are you, the reader, allowing the conditions?) Quality of education decreases when  state legislators  allow overcrowded classrooms. (Identifies who is doing what.) On Saturday afternoons,  you  usually have to stand in long lines to buy groceries. (Are you, the reader, shopping on this day and time?) Saturday afternoon  shoppers  usually have to stand in long lines to buy groceries. (Identifies who is doing what.) In many states,  you  have prisons with few rehabilitation programs. (Do you, the reader, have prisons?) In many states,  prisons  have few rehabilitation programs. (Identifies the actual subject of the sentence.)

4. Don’t pose questions: convert the questions into statements. Q. Are the lawmakers certain on their stance in the legalization of divorce in the country? S. The lawmakers are certain on their stance in the legalization of divorce in the country. 5. Avoid exaggerations or hyperbole. Hyperbole: He is so hungry, he could eat a horse. My geography teacher is older than the hills. Formal: He is so hungry, he could a lot. The geography teacher is very old.

5. Explicitness The responsibility of the writer in English is to make clarify the relationship of text to its various parts through explicitly using different signaling words 6. Accuracy Accurate vocabulary should be observed .   7. Hedging The writer has to convey facts and information as accurate as it is however, he should be cautious to make decisions about his stance on a particular subject or the strength of the claims he is making. • Hedging is the technique commonly used by the writers to cautiously lay the difference of facts from claims. • Hedging is the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well as to demonstrate politeness and indirectness.

CATEGORY WORD EXAMPLE a) Verbs appear, seem, tend Although the results seem to support previous findings,… b) Modal auxiliaries can, could, may, might This discrepancy could be attributed to… c) Adjectives            Expressing probability likely, unlikely, probable, possible It is likely that the experimental group…        Expressing quantity some, many, much (also expression one of) Inflation is one of the causes of… d) Adverbs            Expressing probability perhaps, possibly, probably, apparently, evidently, presumably, relatively The number of patients will probably increase…   Expressing frequency occasionally, sometimes, generally, usually, often, seldom Acceptance rates are generally high… e). Expressions showing writer’s distance Based on the limited data…, according to this preliminary study…, in the view of many scholars…, according to some earlies studies… In the view of many applied linguists, phrasal verbs are difficult for language learners to master.   Expressing frequency occasionally, sometimes, generally, usually, often, seldom Acceptance rates are generally high… e) Expressions showing writer’s distance Based on the limited data…, according to this preliminary study…, in the view of many scholars…, according to some earlies studies… In the view of many applied linguists, phrasal verbs are difficult for language learners to master.

Direction: Underline the correct specific term to complete the sentence. 6.The patient needs a (script, receipt ) to buy a medicine. 7. Your objection is (overruled, unacceptable). 8. The (criminal, suspect) is headed west on Route 10.  9. Certain medications can cause or worsen (nasal, nose) symptoms especially congestion. 10.The (waiter, barista) in the Angel Coffee Bar performs an amazing flaring and juggling show as the customer orders Bloody Mary mix.   Directions: Order the sentences from the most categorical statement tothe most hedged. Use numbers 1-5 to show order as 1 as least hedged and 5 as the most hedged. a) The Earth is probably round. …... b) The Earth is possibly round. …… c) The Earth is round. …... d) The Earth is apparently round. …... e) The Earth is said to be round. ……

Direction: Rewrite each sentence twice: a. one with a lexical verb (e.g. assume, believe,suggest , think, seem) and; b. one with an adjective (e.g. possible, probable) or adverb (e.g. probably, usually, possibly,perhaps , likely). Example: The bus will arrive in ten minutes. - I believe the bus will arrive in ten minutes. - The bus will likely be here in ten minutes. Start here: 1.Eating fast food is bad and should be avoided. 2.Computers are taking away our privacy. 3. Paper newspapers will disappear within the next decade. 4. He is right in saying that COVID- 19 is a bioweapon. 5.Blended learning is the current teaching modality that will help students to pursue their study even without physical face-to-face interaction.

8. Responsibility It is a writer’s responsibility to provide evidences and justifications of any claims. 9. Organization The logical flow of thoughts in the text should be well- organized from one section to another. 10. Planning An effective academic writing is always began with a well- planned idea of development. It usually takes place after research and evaluation, according to a specific purpose and plan.

Direction: Determine whether the statement is TRUE or FALSE. Academic writing is a formal and impersonal style of writing. The intended audience for non- academic writing are mass public. Scientific report is an example of non- academic writing. Both academic and non- academic use citation and reference in writing. There is no rigid structure in academic texts. Colloquialisms should be avoided in academic texts while casual or informal language is usually accepted in non- academic writings. Newspaper and magazine belong to non- academic papers. The purpose of academic article is to inform the readers with solid evidence. Research paper is considered as personal writing which follows subjective style in writing. Digital media is considered academic writing. QUIZ 1
