Academic English
What is academic English?
According to doctor Karen Ottewell [...], at its most basic, Academic English is the variety of the English language that we use to share research. Research refers to the process of answering a research question by creating an argument that is supported through critical analysis and the use of evidence. We use Academic English to reach a wide general academic audience in an attempt to persuade them that the argument we have created to answer our academic question is an effective one.
