nature.
Examples of Non-Academic Texts:

Four Key Features of Academic Writing
1. Objectivity
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.
Present information in an unbiased way with vocabulary that does not reflect opinions
or personal feelings.
It’s objective rather than personal!
Avoid:
1st person and 2nd person point of view.
I, YOU, WE ME, US
Use:
3rd person Point of View
HE, SHE, IT, THEY
The researcher, the author, this study
2. Formality
This relates to how well you obey standard English norms.
Avoid:
1. Colloquial words and informal expressions
“stuff’
“a lot of”
“thing”
“sort of”
“gonna”
For example:
Wrong: The researcher got pretty good results.
Correct: The researcher obtained encouraging results. 2. abbreviated forms/
contractions:
“can’t”
“doesn’t”
“shouldn’t”
3. Two-word verbs/Verb Phrases:

“find out” – Discover
“help out” – Assist
“move in” – Transfer
Remember: When writing Academic paper, we should see to it that all our verbs are
written as 1 word form.
Example:
The order was to call off the strike immediately.
The order was to postpone the strike immediately.
4. Sub-headings, numbering and bullet-points in formal essays – but use them in

reports.
5. Asking questions
Example: What can be done to lower the cost?
Use declarative sentence instead.
3. Precision
Academic writing is precise, factual information, figures or charts, should all be

provided, and nothing written there should leave room to interpretation.
For example:
Wrong: A lot of people
Correct: 50 million people
Wrong: The Past
Correct: From 1964 to 1997
4. Explicitness
This pertains to coherence, cohesion and clarity.
Academic writing is explicit in its signposting of the organization of the ideas in the text.
These connections can be made explicit using different signaling words.
Signal Words: However, because, Similarly, furthermore, consequently etc.
For example:
If you are giving examples, do it explicitly.

Use: For example
If you think that one sentence gives reasons for something in another sentence, make it
explicit.
Use: Because
