C. PRESENTATION/DISCUSSION
The teacher will facilitate the discussion on Language Used in Academic Text from
Various Disciplines
Academic language
Represents the language demands of school (academics). Academic language
includes language used in textbooks, in classrooms, on tests, and in each discipline. It
is different in vocabulary and structure from the everyday spoken English of social
interactions. Each type of communication (both academic and social) has its purpose,
and neither is superior to the other.
Academic vocabulary
Is used in all academic disciplines to teach about the content of the discipline,
e.g., a water table is different from a periodic elements table. Before taking chemistry,
for example, some students know the technical words used in chemistry, while others
do not. Pre-teaching of vocabulary and subject-specific terminology helps to address
that need. Teaching academic language can be challenging because struggling
readers and English learners do not always know the vocabulary used to learn specific
academic terms or key concepts.
Academic structure
Includes the established ways of organizing writing (which can affect how one
reads) in a discipline. Different genres, paragraph/sentence structure, level of text
difficulty, purpose, intended audience, overall organization, and knowledge of outside
resources for the text all affect how one writes and reads in that discipline.
D. GENERALIZATION
In determining the language used in academic text from various discipline, be reminded of
the following:
Identify the text and then analyze the genre, academic structure and academic
vocabulary. For example, a lab report for chemistry requires different academic structure
and vocabulary than a newspaper article for social studies or a food recipe for home
economics.
Identify and analyze the explicit instruction/deconstruction concerning the text; consider
multiple models if necessary. Example: Deconstruct a word problem in algebra that
requires different academic language from deconstructing a proof in geometry, a poem in
English, or a musical symphony. Use textual evidence to support their ideas in speaking
and writing.
E. ACTIVITY/EVALUATION
1. Answer the dictated quiz,
2. Write an essay about our national heroes using academic text
