Introduction to academic writing
• Writing involves starting, progressing and finishing a complicated combination of tasks
• Writing is not just influenced by what we know and what we have discovered about something, but also by what we feel
• Creative part of writing requires chaos; shaping or writing requires discipline
![Page 16: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The paradoxes of academic writing
1. The starting v. finishing
2. The originality v. convention
3. The logic v. emotion
4. The easy v. difficult
5. The public v. private
![Page 17: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
1. Starting v. finishing
• Skills associated with starting a writing project are different from the skills you need to activate to complete it
• Projects we start, but do not finish – enthusiasm in the beginning, criticism and fears later
![Page 18: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Originality v. convention
• The differences between taking in information and putting forward or articulating ideas of your own
• How can fresh ideas be incorporated into a writing style that tends to demand conformity?
• Listen to voices of others, but write in your own
![Page 19: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Logic v. emotion
• Academic writers have to be objective, but it is impossible to ignore the emotional dimension
• Emotional dimension is needed to be self-aware and reflective in what you write
![Page 20: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Easy v. difficult
• Writing can seem both easy and difficult at different stages in the process, or at the same time
• Realisation that doing something with ease does not mean that it is simple or unchallenging
![Page 21: ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56812fe8550346895d955ee7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
5. Public v. private
• Privacy protects early writing efforts, but scholarship in general requires public scrutiny
• A need to balance the public and private dimension of academic writing
