Load up your armor by being familiar with these texts

An academic text aims to inform, which is why it focuses on information instead of
entertainment. Its writing style, while creative, focuses on being factual and objective.
Read the following passages carefully. Then, decide whether the passage is an academic
text reflecting formality and objectivity by writing Formal, or a literary text by writing
Fiction. (see Self- Learning Module page 7)

What is it?

Nature and Characteristics of an Academic Text

An academic text is a reading material that provides information which include concepts
and theories that are related to the specific discipline.

The following are considered as academic texts: Research Paper, Conference Paper,
Feasibility Study, Thesis/Dissertation, Reviews, Essay, Academic Journals, Reports.

Structure
Unlike fiction or journalistic writing, the overall structure of an academic text is
formal and logical (Introduction, Body, Conclusion). It must be cohesive and possess a
logically organized flow of ideas; this means that various parts are connected to form a
unified whole.

Tone
The overall tone 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 the 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.

C. Engagement
What’s more?

Directions: Read the sample academic texts below and identify the errors in the use
of the academic language

1. I decided to write an extended essay on how hip-hop works as protest of the lower classes
because I think the music is cool and really gets people dancing, inspiring those people who
wouldn’t normally think there’s any point in being

2. Biology has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I was searching for frogspawn in my
grandparent’s pond as a four-year-old and annoying my mom with a battery of jam jars on the
windowsill in which I was trying to raise tadpoles I have been fascinated with observing nature in
detail. Even in English, reading Death of a Naturalist Seamus Heaney, I found myself thinking up
an experiment to do with dragonflies and fireflies. I have a fish tank at home with three different
sorts of fish. I've noticed that they all respond differently when I feed them. I'm wondering what
else is different in their behavior so, in this extended essay, I'm going to find out how they react to
light.

3. When I go into a supermarket there is always gentle background music playing, although in the
clothes shop, I like it is always pop music. At breakfast my dad likes to listen to Apo Hiking
Society, while my little brother has rock songs on his phone and will head bang his way through the
dining area. My essay is trying to research why people rely on certain types of music to influence
their mood and how music is used in this way for advertising. I am not sure if there is a connection
and whether the music does affect, for example, people’s shopping habits, but it will be interesting
to try to find out, especially to see if different peoples’ brains are wired differently when it comes to
music. 1. 2. 3. 11
economic status in life? against anything to listen to the message. Being an enthusiastic hip-hop
dancer myself, I really wanted to find out some more about this.
What can I do?
Directions: Using the criteria, evaluate the language of the following sample of
academic texts from various disciplines

1. This essay intends to investigate whether there is a causal relationship between

music listened to and the mood of individuals. Additionally, it will seek to explore
whether this relationship is used in advertising to encourage people to spend
money.

2. This essay on how the lyrics of hip-hop developed as a form of protest against a
society segregating the working classes based on the premise of the music having a
distinct and energizing rhythm that really inspires people to move, thereby reaching
out to audiences who wouldn’t normally believe in protest, let alone speak out in
public. Thus, the music becomes a vehicle for words of protest that can and indeed
have changed the world.

3. When I go into a supermarket there is always gentle background music playing,

although in the clothes shop, I like it is always pop music. At breakfast my dad
