    Academic Vs Professional Writing

    Uploaded by

    Academic and professional writing have both similarities and differences. They are similar in that they are both formal, concise, and based on factual information. However, academic writing is meant for educational institutions while professional writing is meant for the workplace. Both types of writing should be clear about their purpose, backed by facts, concise without being wordy, and avoid idioms or poetic language. The writing process generally involves five steps - planning, drafting, revising, finalizing, and publishing/presenting.

    ACADEMIC WRITING
    • Is formal and used for schools, colleges, or
    universities.

    PROFESSIONAL/ TECHNICAL
    WRITING
    • Is used in the workplace.
    THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN
    WRITING ACADEMICALLY OR
    PROFESSIONALLY
    1. KNOW YOUR PURPOSE FOR WRITING

    • Are you writing to inform people? To


    educate? To make them follow and
    take action? Or simply to narrate? To
    entertain? You need to be clear with
    what you want to do in order to
    begin writing.
    2. BASE EVERYTHING YOU WRITE ON
    FACTS

    • This is nonfiction, so you must base


    your ideas on reality and factual
    information. If you don’t, you will
    lose credibility
    3. DO NOT BE WORDY

    • Those in the workplace do not have


    a lot of time, so short but
    meaningful text will be helpful. Also,
    wordiness can cause confusion to
    readers, so avoid it.
    4. AVOID USING IDIOMS AND POETIC
    LANGUAGE

    • While literary texts and personal


    conversations allow you to use
    idioms and poetic language,
    academic and professional writing
    do not. Instead, writes must use
    language that is direct straight to
    the point.
    THE WRITING PROCESS
    • Writing is a skill one needs to learn to be
    able to communicate effectively. Writing is
    composed of various stages or steps you
    should undergo before you can produce a
    well-thought-out and well-crafted output.
    These stages are essential components of
    what we call the writing process.
    • The writing process is composed of five
    basic steps: (1) prewriting; (2) drafting; (3)
    revising; (4) writing the final paper; and (5)
    FIVE BASIC STEPS
    STEP 1: PREWRITING/PLANNING

    • First choose a topic. Then plan and organize


    what you are going to write. You can use a
    mind map or graphic organizer to help you
    plan and organize your ideas.
    STEP 2: DRAFTING

    • Write a rough draft of your ideas. Do not


    worry too much about making mistakes. You
    can correct them later. Just write!
    STEP 3: REVISING

    • Get other readers’ responses to what you


    have written. Make revisions based on their
    comments and your own ideas to improve
    your draft. Think about what to add, what to
    cut and what to change.
    STEP 4: PROOFREADING/EDITING

    • Read your revised draft carefully and look for


    mistakes in grammar, spelling, capitalization
    and punctuation. Correct any mistakes that
    you find. Then get other readers to help you
    find errors that you have missed.
    STEP 5: PUBLISHING/PRESENTING

    • Complete your final copy. Share it with


    others by publishing it or presenting it.
