Have you ever felt overwhelmed when the teacher ask
you to write an essay or a research on your chosen
topic? You wanted to write, but you did not know where
to start? You might be asking yourself:
 What will be the topic of my essay or what
will be the title of my research?
 What sources will be relevant to my topic?
 How will I develop and arrange my essay or
research? Right?
(Students answer may vary)
So do you have any idea about our lesson for today?

examples of this writing.
You’re right! Thank you everyone for your participation.
Yes, Ma’am!

It seems that you already have an idea about our lesson

attentive and participative for our today’s discussion.

which is often used in school to complete a writing task
for a specific subject. In higher levels, it is used as a
requirement for a track or course. Some examples of
this are essays and research papers.
As a writer, you need to remember that academic
writing uses words which are formal and objective.
1. Formal
It is important to be formal in writing academic papers,
which means your tone should not sound casual or
conversational. To make your writing more formal, try to:
a. avoid using colloquial, idiomatic or slang

Once the research is The information

completed, the gathered is expected
information will be to be highly valuable
top- notch. for future researches.
Some people will find colloquial language (ex. top-
notch) difficult to understand which can lead to
misinterpretation. Instead, find a formal equivalent of the
word or just drop/remove it.

b. use full words instead of contractions

don’t do not
they’ve they have
it’s it is
we’ll we will
A contraction is when two words are combined into one.
Use it only when you are using a direct quote from
someone.

2. Objective
In general, academic writing is based on facts and
evidence and it is not affected by personal emotions.
Therefore, to make your essay or research paper
convincing, you must use an unbiased style of writing.
To maintain an objective tone in your writing, avoid the
following:
a . personal statement and judgement
X ✓

I performed an The experiment was

I believe that fast food In this paper, the

contributes to obesity. effects of fast food
consumption on
obesity were presented
in various studies.
In writing a research paper report, for you to avoid
personal pronoun like ‘I’, use the passive voice.
Avoid phrases like “I believe”, “I think”, or “I feel”
because it may indicate bias.

Instead of emotional language, include facts or evidence

to prove your point.
PARTS OF ACADEMIC WRITING
The structure of academic writing is similar to that of a
simple paragraph, with an introduction, body, and
conclusion. These three parts will be used in writing as
a short paragraph, an essay, or a full-length report or
research paper.

INTRODUCTION
 Hook the reader using fact, song, joke, or
question.
