This Module in English for Academic and Professional Purposes aims to enhance your
communication skills particularly in writing academic and professional compositions. It is
also designed to develop your abilities to utilize appropriate language in academic writing
from various disciplines using correct text structures.
General Instructions
Now that you are holding this module, do the following:
Read and follow instructions carefully in each lesson.
Take note and record points for clarification.
Do the activities to fully understand each lesson.
Answer all the given tests and activities.
Write all your answers in your notebook
Use this activity sheet with care. Do not put unnecessary mark/s on any part of the
activity sheet. Use notebook answering the exercises. Your notebook will serve as
your answer sheets and will be passed at the end of the week.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this lesson, the learners are expected to:
1. define academic text;
2. determine text structure of an academic text; and
3. explain the components of the three-part essay structure.
WHAT I KNOW?
LET’S ANSWER THIS! (TRUE OR FALSE)
Directions: Write T if the statement is correct and F if it is wrong. Write your answer in your
notebook.
B. The core of the introduction, where you show the overall topic, purpose,
your point of view, hypotheses and/or research questions (depending on
what kind of paper it is).
C. The most specific information, describing the scope and structure of your
paper.
You should write your introduction after you know both your overall point of view (if it
is a persuasive paper) and the whole structure of your paper. You should then revise
the introduction when you have completed the main body.
The Body. It develops the question, “What is the topic about?”. It may elaborate
directly on the topic sentence by giving definitions, classifications, explanations,
contrasts, examples and evidence. This is considered as the heart of the essay
because it expounds the specific ideas for the readers to have a better understanding
of the topic. It usually is the largest part of the essay.
Conclusion. The conclusion is closely related to the introduction and is often
described as its ‘mirror image’. This means that if the introduction begins with
general information and ends with specific information, the conclusion moves in the
opposite direction. The conclusion usually begins by briefly summarizing the main
scope or structure of the paper, confirms the topic that was given in the introduction,
ends with a more general statement about how this topic relates to its context. This
may take the form of an evaluation of the importance of the topic, implications for
future research or a recommendation about theory or practice.
The IMRaD Structure
The sections of the IMRaD structure are Introduction, Methods, Results and
Discussion. The Introduction usually depicts the background of the topic and the
central focus of the study. The Methodology lets your readers know your data
collection methods, research instrument employed, sample size and so on. Results
and Discussion states the brief summary of the key findings or the results of your
study.
Multiple Choice
Directions: Choose the letter that best answers the given question. Write the letter
of your answer in your notebook.
1. Who are the target readers of an academic essay?
D. One must depend highly on the Internet for easy information access.
4. An academic essay must use appropriate vocabulary words but not too
pretentious, highfalutin words. Which among these words is the simplified
version of the term, "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"?
A. beautiful; pretty
B. exquisite; one-of-a-kind
D. hardworking; industrious
D. all of these
Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to:
1. determine language style in academic writing;
2. differentiate language style used in academic texts from various disciplines; and
3. construct paragraphs using academic language.
Directions: What do you think is the most correct answer in the following
instances . Write your answer in your notebook.
1. Instead of the informal 'I have read', use ( I think, The essay has )
2. The phrase 'turn out to be' is informal. Instead, use: ( become ,
end up )
3. Instead of 'paid for', use ( given, funded )
4. ‘Job' is a little too informal. Instead write ( role, gig, )
5. Instead of ‘funny’ use ( laughable, ironic )
