Academic Register

Head of the Forum

First topic message reminder :

Dear Colleagues,

Due to your great work and titanic efforts, OVELT is getting more and more effectual .We do thank you and may every letter you typed be rewarded.

OVELT is a forum that is meant to be professional .It represents teachers, learners, pedagogues and educators .Thus, we should preserve that image of these social instructors .

Each situation has its specific register .Our learning-teaching situation needs an academic-scientific register.Let us avoid the words or expressions that are informal. Let us use a more academic discourse.

Words such as “thank s ” (and other similar informal expressions) should be avoided .That’s why , the administration of OVELT has replaced it with “()()( )”.

I wish you got what the idea is .

With all my due respect.

Cordially,

NOR.

Well; are you serious Mr.Boucherit?
The use of English is a must in OVELT.It is even a rule that has to be implemented.
Some members were deactivated for their use od other languages .

What significance are speaking about, Mr. Boucherit ?

Honour Member

But I think I've used only English in my threads.

Mr.Boucherit, do you think I am speaking about you?
Who can say the contrary Mr.Boucherit ?

Honour Member

Who dares discussing Mr. Boucherit's English use and level?
If you read the thread and replied , it means that you are among those who oppose informal address between colleagues... a thing that is rarely found .

Honour Member

We even don't target "this" or "that" with this issue, we just want to point out things so as the administration goes with the normal flood control of quality not quantity.

Head of the Forum

Well said Mr.Red1.

The only way of being comfortable at any place is following the host's rules. I , personally, always do it whenever possible

V.I.P

Colloquial English is used in ordinary conversations which is not the case of our forum.
I want to add something if you do not mind.
The contractions are part of colloquial language too.
It is formal to say do not instead of don't or is not instead of isn't.
It seems I use my red pen even on the net. Academic Register - Page 2 Icon_redface

In this case, my former reply is to be edited for th eremark.

V.I.P

If we follow the academic register, it should be edited.

Your rules are hard but convenient to those who want to improve their language and style. thank you sorcerer_OV

You are not a new comer Sir Redouane.

REMINDERS ARE EFFICIENT, MADAM

Head of the Forum

Just a reminder for you are well Sir Redouane.The use of capital letters refers to shouting.Please kindly do not shout at us.

Site Reviewer

OK, MADAM

Head of the Forum

I will not add a single word.

I read all the comments, I have nothing to add except to say that I am speechless: Such words are informal, but still used by our teachers, this is why we use them thinking that it is not wrong to do!
I am very thankful , happy and proud to be with you in this forum to learn from all the memebers, thank you all

Site Reviewer

Welcome among us, madam.

What Mrs. NOR wanted to say is that the banned word is INFORMAL (between friends). The site is mainly PROFESSIONAL. So, let's keep it clean from such expressions.

Thank you sir Redouane,
I agree, teachers must be professional, thank you.
