Title: The Development of Academic Language: The right way is the
easy way
Abstract
I argue in this presentation that the development of academic language occurs in three stages, and all three are pleasant: (1) stories and read alouds; (2) recreational reading (3) academic reading. In all three of these stages, the input is COMPELLING, that is, extremely interesting. In stages two and three the reading is typically self-selected and narrow.
I will also argue that there is no other way to develop academic language. It cannot be done by direct study: the system is too vast and complicated. Academic language can only be absorbed, or acquired, by reading.
