This week’s reflection will be on the importance of punctuations. Punctuations are important in academic writing because it helps separates sentences and differentiates the tone in reading and speaking. Majority of people forget and are confused when to use commas or apostrophes because of the frequent usage of text messaging language. This is how text messaging language is ruining academic writing because of the younger generation that have affected they was we speak and write through communication language.
I remember when I had experienced to write an academic letter before joining university, I had been on holidays for six months before that and I did not realize that I had not used any commas for my letter, and my dad had checked my work with shock wondering what exactly I have been doing in high school. From then onwards I noticed that my frequent text messaging had influenced me to continuously think with phonetic spellings and structures.
For this reflection I want my learners and audience to understand the use of applying punctuations in academic writing. I found online teaching videos for punctuations. This should give a clear understanding on what punctuations are and when you need to use them.
*New Feature*on the left side of the blog I’ve added another gadget that will help vocabulary skills again. It's called the ‘Word of the day’. A new word is updated every day with a definition from a dictionary. This should be a help to increase your word vocabulary.
