In Between RIS Technical Training Days (II)

             Another week done and we are swamped with tasks. As for me, I have to include school, work and parenting tasks. It is pretty tiring, but fulfilling. It feels good to be reminded about what I love to do – freelancing. I stopped a couple of years back because of a series of unfortunate events in my life, but now during the Rural Impact Sourcing Technical Training (RISTT), I have a renewed spirit in me.

After all those discussion about:

Certain tasks now include web content creation. This is pretty different from my school tasks. My school tasks are more on academic writing including how to write a theoretical framework:

  1. Provide theory and proponent.
  2. Give the full statement of the theory,
  3. Cite source/s.
  4. Explain relevance of statements in light of study.

How to write the conceptual framework:

  1. Cite concept(s) / variable(s).
  2. Define concept(s) / variable(s) and give the source.
  3. Explain concept(s) / variable(s) definition in the light of your study.

 

ACADEMIC ENGLISH                 VS NON-ACADEMIC ENGLISH
·         Complex Structure ·         Simple Structure
·         Formal tone (avoid contractions) ·         Informal & Conversational
·         Objective point of view ·         Subjective point of view
·         Does not directly address the readers (no personal pronouns) ·         Directly addresses the readers (uses personal pronouns)
·         Does not use personal language ·         Uses personal language
·         Does not allow contractions ·         Uses contractions.

This is some serious code switching for my brain, and it is making me giddy, like a school-girl.
