EAP Academic Style and Tone Worksheet - Reading, Vocabulary and Writing Exercises: Identifying, Matching, Gap-fill, Table Completion, Dictionary Work, Rewriting a Paragraph In this academic style and tone worksheet, students identify informal language in sentences and a paragraph, then practice replacing it with more formal, academic alternatives. First, students read sentences and underline the informal word or phrase in each one. Students then discuss formal alternatives with a partner and write one alternative for each word or phrase. Next, students complete a table with the sentence number in Exercise A that matches each error type. After that, students complete sentences with formal alternatives from a box. Students then read a paragraph and underline eight informal words or phrases. Following that, students complete a table with the words and phrases they identified and possible formal alternatives. Finally, students rewrite the paragraph using their formal alternatives to create a more formal academic style and tone.
