describe your writing strength(s). Draw from your experiences with academic, workplace, and even “social” writing.
Next, share your thoughts on communicating across various social and professional contexts. How confident are you in using academic or field-specific language versus social media communications? How do you identify your audience(s) and purpose(s) in anything you write — from a 10-page research paper to a one-line Tweet? Lastly, how do you think one becomes a more competent and effective communicator across different mediums?
Answer preview
confident in using academic or field-specific language versus social media communication. I am aware that scholarly communication requires specific language that is free of any logical, typological, or even grammatical errors, unlike the social media communication language. In this case, I can proofread my message before sending it to the receiver to make it more understandable by the receiver and ensure the context is aligned with the message.
I can identify my audience and purpose of writing by looking at the nature of the content and message that I want to relay to the receivers. In this case, I am aware that my academic writing content is targeted to my peers and academicians who wish to further their knowledge in a subject of study. I am aware that a ten-page research paper requires the use of facts and data from relevant sources and requires official academic language, unlike a one-line tweet that is targeted to the public or people with a common interest in life.
