Academic writing refers to another common style of expression used by

researchers to determine the intellectual ends of their personalities and their

fields of expertise. Its characteristics include formal, third-person use rather than

first-person perspective, a clear focus on the research problem being investigated,

and accurate word choice.

 Academic writing for publication is well closed in schools that are the

right place. The goal is to cultivate the student's mind. Academic writing takes

place all over the world, as well as in the Philippines. It replaced understandings

about English as an international language for academic purposes. It examines the

impact of the growing dominance of English or Filipino on academic writing for

publication.

The state of academic writing in the Philippine context depends largely

on the background of the student's education and his or her school itself and its

resources. There is a big difference between the Philippine and American context

based on our academic performance.

We, the Filipinos, are probably working hard all the time. Filipinos like to

write essays, blogs, or paper work at the very "last minute". Sadly, it is in the mind

set of Filipinos to be lazy. And the worst situation, Filipinos often copy and paste
on the internet through Wikipedia, Google Scholar, Google, etc. And in the

Philippines, internet resources are very scarce.

Try comparing an academic paper with a student living in a province and

attending a provincial school to a student living in an urban area. You can see a

huge difference because in the city, there are many resources on the internet,

compared to the province.

The writing style of Filipinos needs to be improved.

We can overcome the difficulty of writing academic papers through a

combination of thorough feedback, writing skills, and careful revision.
