 CRITICAL APPROCHES
IN WRITING AN ARTICLE

● Since writing a critique requires a thorough, careful
presentation, and weighing of arguments , is necessary to
use a less or a systematic and critical analysis to serve you
purpose in writing, One approach may be enough, However,
it is not merely exclusive with other approaches, You may
use depending on the length and the depth of your critique.
However, it is still easier for beginner to simply focus with
one approach. Hereunder are critical writing approaches you
may choose from depending on your interests and needs.
 FORMALISM OR
NEW CRITICSM

● This approach claims that all that are important in
analysing and understanding the text can be found in the
piece of writing or text itself. Outside information regarding
the author, society of the time, politics or any other
external content are no longer needed. The text is
independent. It has fixed meaning. It is timeless and
universal.
