Engaging activity: Divide the class into
small groups and assign each group a
different discipline (e.g., biology, history,
economics). In their groups, students

facilitating a discussion on the
importance of using appropriate
vocabulary in academic writing.

the characteristics of formal language,
such as avoiding colloquial expressions,
using precise and objective language, and
maintaining a professional tone.

a set of informal sentences and ask them
to rewrite each sentence using formal
language. For example, a sentence like "I
think the experiment went well" can be

vocabulary usage, and overall
effectiveness of the writing. This activity
promotes active learning, collaboration,
and further development of their
understanding of appropriate language in
academic writing.
