1. DEFINE LITERARY AND ACADEMIC WRITING

WHAT IS ACADEMIC WRITING?

- Need to convince reader

- Use literature
- Use paragraphs

One kind of writing – academic writing is rigid, procedural, purposed purely, to convey knowledge,
data, and information. Its orderly, organized and follows a formula. It is necessary. It can be dull.
Anyone can’t master it.

Characteristics of academic writing include a formal tone, use of the third-person rather than first
– person perspective (usually), a clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and
precise word choice
 Like specialist languages adopted in other professions, such as, law or medicine, or academic
writing is designed to convey agreed meaning about complex ideas or concepts for a group of
scholarly experts.

LITERARY WRITING

The term literary writing calls to mind works by writers such as Shakespeare, Milton, or words worth;
definitive examples of all that the term implies

2. WHAT ARE THE SIMILARITIES OF WRITING AND ACADEMIC WRITING?

- As you can see, there are a lot of differences between these two styles of writing.
Academic writing is formal, using the third person, while business writing is less
formal and can use any point of view. Academic writing focuses on facts, while
business writing gives opinions.
