Date Posted: 10:43:05 09/15/10 Wed Topic sentence: Academic Language is largely found in written texts KRASHEN(1993) has repeatedly emphasized that extensive reading is crucial for academic development since academic language is found primarily in written text. As a matter of fact Academic Language is used to make science communication and research founding. Its purpose is to inform, describe and explain facts and concepts concisely and precisely, usually written in CALP. To be able to understand the complex language of science or other subject and deal with the particularity of academic and literate register students need to be trained since it is not one simple task. It is a complex assignment to work on more abstract ideas such as that found in academic written. It also requires decoding and metacognitive ability. To prepare students to express their ideas properly, producing and organizing discourse coherently, educators must encourage them to keep contact with written text. It is an excellent reliably source of Academic Language. Trough them students can acquire high level literacy skills and get academic success. If students are not getting access to written texts extensively, they hardly are learning this variety of language. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
