About the Author

I am from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I came to New Zealand 3 years ago to further my education in AUT University. I would consider myself a bubbly and loud person if I wasn't feeling shy. I am currently in my second year of Bachelor Arts in English. I am studying this course with a intriguing interest and curiosity in English Language and Communication. I am hoping that this paper will help me in the future to be a better writer academically and this has also given me another opportunity to have my own blog again. :)

Text Messaging V Academic Writing

Academic Writing?

So how do you start writing academically when you know you have the symptoms of TXT MSGING. Well that’s an improvement only you can change. I’m just here to help you learn to write academically. First of all what I think to change your way of communication is to change the phonetic spellings to proper English spelling. That way at least you are aware of the correct spellings before starting to write academically. I reckon this would be very affective as you try to this as frequent as you type. Especially when text messaging (SMS), relay chatting (MSN) and social networking (FB). This was definitely affective for me when I was 17 and I had just started my first year of university. This attempt I assure you will show results immediately of at least correct spellings and not phonetics!

Let’s improve our academic skills step by step now that we have decided change our spellings correctly, by first including how to write a paragraph academically. I’ve chosen videos as an asset to learn to write academically. What more could you want with a video that explains and shows everything that you need to know. I’ve attached a video bar on the left side showing a record of videos related to the one I’ve chosen. The video teaches academic writing tips to help begin and end an essay. I will also be including more videos to teach English spellings, grammar and punctuations.

I also want to include something that was significant to me and something I had finally differentiated two years ago and that is the difference between its, its’ and it’s. It was only two years ago that I had figured out how each it actually worked for each sentence. Some people have this as a huge problem and just being not able to understand at all. So to make sure learners out there will not be going through this problem anymore I will be including this in my next post.
So is language dead or evolving? Would text messaging language be the futuristic language? Will academic writing just be academic writing for the classroom or an office?

You shall be updated..
