Channel: The CAC at Uvic
Date: 2018-03-19

Want to write more clear, concise, and ‘‘academic-sounding’’ essays? This video addresses how academic language differs from speech and other kinds of writing, and what types of informal language to avoid. We will also look at strategies for recognizing and replacing informal language in your work, and how to use ‘hedging’ language for better accuracy and credibility.
