Research papers, thesis, job interviews - most of us have at least once been in a situation where the use of academic English was highly desirable and expected from us. Learning how to properly write, read and communicate a language is as important in our regular daily life as in every other aspect of it.
Being a college student brings along more demands towards knowing academic English. We are encountered with essays and research papers which are there to prepare us for finding a job and being able to cope with it.
The most important thing while in college is to learn how to use our transferable skills to our maximum, and this is where academic English plays a major role. Every employer will want us to know how to:
- write grammatically correct, be able to organize text well and use citations correctly
- give a good oral presentation
- use both skim and techniques and deep reading techniques
In other words, the key to finding a job is not to be fluent in English, than to be fluent in academic English, which is the base for being considered an educated person.
