What is an English academic language?
English Academic English is a specific English language that incorporates the highly focused formal vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, syntax and terminology required for teaching and research in that language.
English for Academic Purposes (EAP) is characterised by clear formalisation and objectification, and the application of scientific methods of persuasion, argumentation, deduction and analysis of information. It is used in higher education institutions in the UK, Canada, USA and other English-speaking countries and aims at successful integration into an academic environment.
