 Academic Communication
Many people already knew the proper way of communicating in a diverse community
especially in a different culture and settings. It may not be practiced at times but some
people may know it intuitively. It is always incorporated the instance or situation wherein
it is shown that we have different manner of communicating towards our friends compared
to our family. In the previous lesson, it was discussed why such things happened. We
already recognized the role of communication in different aspect of individual’s life.
In this module, we are going to learn about academic communication as one of the
purposes of communication. Academic communication, also called scholarly
communication, refers to the methods of communication that are highly structured and
generally only used in pedagogical setting. It includes the words and structures to express
ideas, as well as the methods used to disseminate information. Academic communication
also includes ideas that are presented effectively and formally in a scholastic manner. If
you were attending college or attending an institution with a higher education, skills for
academic conversation is highly required. The common example of which is the manner of
conversation with your teachers and peers or any other school official.
 Course Module
With these, we understand how much communication is important in a day to day basis, it
much used more often than how we change our clothes.

 Importance of Academic Communication

Communication is paramount of education. Whether it is the teacher, student, admin,
parent, communication is needed to make sure that relationship of each are secured
towards the aim of producing a successful student. Communication is something that does
not always happen. Sometimes is a lack of time, a lack of resources, and a lack of knowing
how to get the point across or a language barrier. This is why in the previous lesson;
technology is integrated to help those who are not efficient in communicating. We have the
use of social media to improve communication; it became much easier to communicate
nowadays because of technology. In education, technology has a lot to offer. With the use
of computers, tablets, mobile phones, studying became more engaging.
It is clearly understood that communication has different purposes depending on how one
should use communication. But we focus on communication being in academe. An effective
communication in teaching is seen by how much a student perceived the lesson conducted
by the teacher. Good communication takes place when a student gets a high score in a quiz
or exam, because it goes to show that the communication used by the teacher is a good and
effective one. But it is not always the case. There are leading factors why a student
performs poorly or gets low grades, and if that’s the case, the admin and faculty should use
communication to reach out with the students.
Academic communication is far different from those in businesses establishment, because
communication in academe can be seen as less formal or formal. Take consideration of how
a student converse with his/her teacher. In their conversation, it has a meaningful sharing
of information not just inside but outside the classroom. That is why it is called scholarly
communication. Students tend to communicate with their teacher with utmost respect, and
the
manner of communicating is far different from those of their family and friends. An
engaging conversation happens between a student and a teacher.
Nowadays, different modes of communication exist. This is because we opted for changes
and it is inevitable. With everything changing, communication is one of those that improve
in a matter of time. This is why communication is important in every aspect of one’s life.
We converse with people every day, every hour and every minute of our life. And when we
did, we gain much of information.
