ACADEMIC READING

Even if you like reading for pleasure, academic reading requires additional skills. Academic reading is intentional and involves activities that you do before and after reading, including note-taking. You may initially expect lower engagement and higher level of difficulty, but different strategies will help you find all the information you need and find enjoyment in learning new things.

ACADEMIC WRITING

Academic writing refers to a style of writing that is used to express ideas in a disciplined way when writing about academic subjects. The language is more formal and requires following the rules of grammar and of the academic format such as literary essay or research paper. It needs to be precise and clear. Writing in academic English requires following evidence-based reasoning.
