Date Posted: 14:49:01 09/15/10 Wed affff hope this is the last time I post here...LOL Marcia sent a suggestion for changing one of the paragraphs...I rewrote it and here's the result. 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. The purpose of academic language texts is to inform, describe and explain facts and concepts concisely and precisely. To be able to understand the complex language of science or other academic subject, and deal with the particularities of academic and literate registers, students need to be trained. To work on more abstract ideas such as those found in academic written texts is a complex assignment. It 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 texts. They are an excellent reliable source of Academic Language. Through them students can acquire high level literacy skills and get academic success. If students don’t get access to written texts extensively, they hardly learn this variety of language. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
