Absolutely a wonderful video that ties into a model of learning languages that I'd been working on. It is so concise that it clearly highlights the idea that; to be critical about anything you have to question it before then considering any further action without buying into any notions. Thank you so much.

No sensible guide to writing should actually be encouraging nominalising verbal forms. It makes your writing heavy and slow moving, and encourages waffle and passive verb forms (an analysis has been conducted). Academic writing, generally, has an appalling reputation, and this is one of the reasons why. Shocked and saddened to come across this site.

@AcademicEnglishUK Ай бұрын

Hi thanks for your opinion and engagement with the video. Would you mind sharing your authority on the matter and can you offer any supporting evidence for your views? You make a number of claims like 'no sensible guide', 'makes writing heavy and slow moving' 'encourages waffle', 'has an appalling reputation' so what factual evidence (data, research, etc..) do you have for these claims? Also, 'I'm shocked and saddened to come across this site' - do you mean all our 121 videos? Often people who leave comments on this channel seem to think that a video on nominalisation means that all you do is write in nominalised style. Of course, this is one of hundred ways to develop a more academic formal writing style which is generally accepted in the academic community. In addition, it is an integral part of teaching on academic English courses and the assessment processes.

@@AcademicEnglishUK The news that you’re academics at ‘top universities’ doesn’t surprise me. Or that some institutions encourage your advice. No wonder academic writing has, too often, a poor reputation. As some academics know. Have a look, for instance, at Learn to Write Badly: How to Succeed in the Social Sciences by Michael Billig (a professor of sociology). There are wonderful sections denouncing ‘nounification’. Or google ‘Zombie Nouns and Verbs: Why Nominalizations and Passives May Be Killing Your Writing’ by Andy Naselli. He quotes those academics trying to clear the fog. Including Steven Pinker, a famous linguist, whose Sense of Style is often critical about nominalising. One Cambridge book which takes, generally, a sensible line is The Student’s introduction to English Grammar. It’s a university text. The authors say they’ve written it in a ‘very deliberately informal style’. They believe they should ‘employ what we call normal style - roughly the kind of conversational language most instructors would use when explaining something in the classroom’. Notice they didn’t write ‘by the employment of normal style - roughly the conversational language that most instructors would make utilisation of in the classroom when giving an explanation’. I wonder why? Your whole site, from what I’ve read, undermines clarity, naturalness, economy and humanity in writing. Any writing. You are leading impressionable youth into linguistic darkness.

Hello! I am a writer. I have almost finished writing my book. According to your video, CopyLeaks is the most reliable plagiarism checker that comes closest to Turnitin in accuracy. Can I use CopyLeaks to run a check of my final manuscript before submitting it to publishers? Also, does CopyLeaks have a separate AI plagiarism check tool? And if it does, is it as accurate as the one you mentioned in the video?

@AcademicEnglishUK 5 ай бұрын

In our review Copyleaks came out as the best as you can see. Yes, you can use Copyleaks to check a final manuscript but will have to pay for full version I expect. With regards to AI this is a shady area with all AI / plagiarism checkers because if you use grammarly for example to spell / grammar check your work, then this is considered AI. At present, most universities in the UK don't really know how to deal with the rise of AI or how to to detect it. I hope this helps.

Great video! I used to teach academic skills and essay writing at various UK universities, and in 2013 SAGE Publications released the first edition of my book, Academic Writing and Grammar for Students. Over the past year, I’ve been working on a third edition, which just released! The book is a practical, accessible guide to writing essays using clear, appropriate academic language. At the end of each chapter, I recommend some other resources that my readers might find useful. For this latest edition, I wanted to include more multimedia and video content, so I thought you might be interested to know that I recommended this video at the end of my chapter on Critical Thinking, as I think it’s a really useful resource that my students at any level could learn a lot from. If you’re interested in taking a look at my book, it’s the third edition of Academic Writing and Grammar for Students by Alex Osmond. I run a Facebook page for the book and it’s available through Amazon and other booksellers. But I just wanted to let you know that I’ve highlighted this excellent video to my readers!

Interesting and informative video! But the quote in 4:19 is not entirely correct. The original quote from Folse (2004) should say: "...learners who use a bilingual dictionary actually remember vocabulary better than those using a monolingual dictionary". That's a significant difference

@AcademicEnglishUK 9 ай бұрын

Hi, thank you for your comment. I've checked this quotation and you are absolutely correct, it suggests the complete opposite! I'm not sure how we misunderstood or even changed the quote in the first place. Anyway, I've edited the video and completely removed it. TBH I feel Folse's research is slightly out-dated especially with the rise of electronic dictionaries and many teachers promoting dictionary skills in the classroom, so I'm presently looking at more recent research where studies suggest that monolingual dictionaries are more beneficial with upper-int / advanced learners. I have found a couple of more recent research articles below if you're interested? Wajahat, A., Mudassar, M.M. & Faiza, E. (2019). Monolingual dictionaries. International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies. 10.13140/RG.2.2.21741.33762. Aboghunaim, N. (2019). The effect of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries on the foreign language learners' acquisition.
