If a foreign language speaker is doing finance/health or service work, notice they usually speak better than fluent English speakers as they’re more concise. They know less words, they remain positive yet honest, they speak the things that are necessary🫶🏻 me on the other hand, I say WAY too much🙄 I once had a professor that wanted me to state things verbatim. He thought I needed to tell and not show. Mofo, no. He failed me. I had a mental breakdown. Went to a different school for better things so I can learn how to write a new story. Although now I’m in a math/science degree and not art (creative writing) or psychology (entails mostly soft science, eek). Now? Writing discussions, essays, + proofs if I can make it to them.

8:30 Thanks for reassuring my opinion about the way these bullsh1tters write. I always read this stuff translating everything in plain english in my head, and it makes these snobs look even more pathetic than they actually are.

Great presentation!🎉

This is SO helpful. Thank you!

"China is propagandizing" is more statement of accusation, than the passive statement of "China was found to be propagandizing," which implies an evidence-based conclusion.

As a master's student who is STRUGGLING to accurately and objectively write my paper, I agree with everything in this video. Academic writing is archaic and needs to change.

I took a business undergrad but am now working on an MA in a humanities program. This has been really helpful especially since I have absolutely no idea how to write academic papers (because I came from a world of business proposals and financial statements). Thank you!

Very Informative video, Thank you:)

Suggestion with high expertise. Thank you 🌹

Thank you so much for sharing

I'm surprised this video doesn't have over 100k views and likes. It's a masterclass on the subject.

This is really helpful! Thank you!

Thanks for the instructions! it is helpful!

Thank you, this is very helpful

Thank you for identifying the implicit bias behind language. I realize how imperative it is to identify my own privileges even as a black woman. Society has attempted to lead me to believe that I am a part of the minority. However from A sense of academia my first language is English. What if I am reading a journal from someone whose first language maybe Urdu? I will be sure to check my biases especially when I am reading Works from international academicians. Thank you and many blessings to you

thank you so much. can I send to you my question ?

ugh, the music was so loud and distracting :-/

Select a current topic in the media (internationally recognized outlets such as BBC, NYT, Economist etc.), create a fact-based summary and formulate a research question applying the criteria of King et al. I need help in answering this question please it’s my first time. Thank you.

Could you possibly do a video on how to create a good research title?

This video is so underrated! Thousands of like from me. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I was really insecure and that's what I needed. Thank you!

One of the brilliant video on RQ

The *'trivium'* of the 'dark ages': 1. *Grammar* - _how to speak and write a proper sentence_ . 2. *Dialectic* - _how to view a subject from different angles and how to come to a conclusion_ . 3. *Rhetoric* - _how to speak and write in a way that engages an audience, according to their customs_ . The _'Quadrivium'_ - _the study of the natural world in relation to mathematics_ is only accessible after having mastered what is _trivial_ . Of course, we have 'progressed', past the *'liberal arts'* to where modern society stands today...

Many are fond of the 'Diplomat' or other Western outlets, but forget that *'Pekingology'* ("What do these communists want ? Proven by plausible speculation !") is their sole purpose of existence and people from Taiwan (e.g. virtually all Chinese speakers at the University of Tuebingen, Heidelberg or Freiburg) or members of Falun Gong ('Epoch Times') are as reliable sources on China as Baltic-Germans on the Soviet-Union. One has to use what the respective country offers as sources to grasp how China views the world and itself - while the facts are ultimately as secondary as Chinese statistics. Oddly, relevant Chinese think tanks ('Chinese Academy of Science', 'China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations') don't utilize *RSS feeds* which would have been a compact way of comparing headlines on an international scale.

Thank you, this is truly helpful!

Just randomly came across this channel. I respect you as a researcher. But to be honest, the sources that you recommended to get to know China are fake/biased crazy Anglo-American media that only demonize China. BBC has been an incredible fake news fabricator. Now, if Westerners want to fool themselves, ok, that's fine, keep sleeping. But if you see China as a competitor or even an enemy, you must really get to know it and report the truth to your people. Demonization won't bring you anything but only making Westerners more and more arrogant and unaware of the world.

Well, I do understand both sentences and the words supposed to be the challenging ones in your vid; but it is not about understanding the difficult words or sentences. There are many words you might have no idea of: Galimatias - parlous - meritocracy - badinage - plashy - limerence - lustrum - lachrymose - uitwaaien - harbinger -diegetic - holophrases - fantabulous - alembic - torrential - shibboleth - grouse - ad hockery- flocculent - belly-wash - cause celebre - macaronic - inaugurate - mammonism - inextricably - beamish - Terrene - ergo - discombobulate - umbrageous - bunkum. The real reason for writing academic writing is just trying to present a piece of writing not inviting extra attention than required, irrelevance, and preciseness, then it doesn't matter if the write use jargons, complex sentence structure, or challenging wording. When we read the rubrics, the words used have all that is being asked to avoid in your video. It is just a mere point of view. Good Luck.

Rules: keep it short use clear subjects write active clauses use verbs, not nouns avoid jargons, rhetoric, and colloquialisms In my opinion, academic writers have no soft corner to know if the readers are able to understand the research paper or any scientific paper in which all that you are suggesting is not used sporadically. Long sentences with jargon, complex sentence structure, and rhetoric are the key features of the articles of 'Nature', a reputed science journal, and many others; ergo, students are compelled to follow the same. When students are likely to go through the literature written in the primordial centuries, and they can write in the easy language if they are making out of what is being said, and for that, they have no choice but to follow the same. Your vid has valid points; notwithstanding, it doesn't hold water when it comes to, even, writing essays for IGCSE or GCSE; O or A level, for the fact that teachers encouraging them to use the language - A1 t- C2 - as well as, for references, the reading of those books carrying the most complex language, such as Richard Dawkins, whose book, Once I used for reference, gave me the clear picture of scientific writing if A needs to be seen on my assignments, so was the case with Charles Darwin's book; so writing is, no doubt, dependent on reading that involves vigorous styles. No offense. (confident, worried, and formal) was awarded when I got a peer review of the paragraph written above.

One of the best videos on academic writing

Dr. Schneider, the hero we need, but don't deserve.

Two things: The BBC does have a bias, and the journalism on East Asia is often enough anything but excellent. Even worse are Axios and Allen-Ebrahimian, who is basically representing the views of the US State Department, and naively presumes that the US State Department is all bout promoting "freedom and democracy". Her anti-communism is grounded in a pentecostal Christian upbringing (according to some of her own tweets). She is fluent in Chinese though, in contrast to some of the formidable BBC and Guardian journalists reporting on China.

Try using myeasypaper.com. They are really cheap, but it doesn’t affect quality. I am a uni student and received lots of help from them.

No, sir, I disagree with you that learning of China is to read the newspapers that you have listed. Shanghai Daily, China Daily, People's Daily, are much better sources. A China from Orientalism is a pathetic distortion.

Loving the Academic Skills series. Thank you for sharing these. They've been really helpful. Would love to see a video on 'How to read an academic paper and take notes effectively'.

If you going through this video, you probably having a hard time writing your essays. I do so as a job, allow me to help. Email me at [email protected]

Thank you !

I signed in just to give this a thumbs up! Very concise and clear explanation, thank you!

Why did I just find this video now? ): I've read tons of research on CDA but this intro vid did a lot more than just introducing discourse analysis. Thanks!

I am really impressed. So much info in only 5 mins.

Could someone tell me in which of his books Foucault describes his ideas of discourse, as it is explained in this video, I would love to refer to this in my thesis

I like it... Easy to understad... Thank u from indonesia

How can i message u other than here as i have some questions please dear?

the video is great! but the music on the background is a pain, I struggle to focus on your voice and the content of what you're saying :/

what is difference between 'critical discourse analysis' and 'discourse analysis'?

great video! very useful!

i will be there, my old neighborhood

Great video, Florian! Thanks!
