What is It
The Difference between Academic and Non-Academic Texts
What is the difference between academic text and non-academic texts?
Academic text is more on content associated with formal learning or gaining such knowledge while non-academic is more on content of extra-curricular and leisurely activities.
Both texts may be written with the goal to persuade, to entertain, or to inform. They are different in their approaches to these goals, though, with academic texts relying far more formally on research-based, factual and verifiable materials for their content. Non-academic texts may also include research or verifiable material, but are less likely to include references to any source material, and may be published in a rather informal setting.

Specific Ideas Contained in Various Academic Texts
The specific ideas in various academic text are dependent on the field of academic text one is reading. Humanities texts discuss more about the various human expressions, such as art and languages, while the sciences contain the scientific method that discuss the objective results of an experiment or the specific research methodology.
Examples of Non- Academic Texts are the following:
● Email messages – Simple and informal. They are sent or received over a computer network and can be sent to multiple recipients and carry multiple attachments at the same time. ● Personal opinions - are examples of non-academic texts that can be communicated through essay writing or in any other form. You can express your own opinion on the subject. Your own opinion may be non-factual or baseless thus, anything that has no reference is considered non-academic. ● Newspapers – are non-academic texts simply because the content is not intended for academic use. Sometimes, you need to verify the content before accepting the statement in the newspapers, especially with the proliferation of fake news. Some writers are not realistic and are relying on fictitious, sensationalized stories so that their newspapers will sell. ● Magazine – is another kind of non-academic text which is usually used for leisure time. That is why magazines are usually placed in a noticeable area in the office for visitors to browse or read while waiting to be called in for their appointment or for employees who are taking a break. ● Blog articles or social media posts – are non-academic reading or writing. Blogs or social media contents can add more ideas about a particular thing but it’s not good to be a source of research, like for a thesis, except if your topic is about social media. Bloggers or social media personalities are very popular when it comes to website content writing.
Point of View of Non-Academic Texts
● Subjective and personal – It is based on personal opinions and feelings rather than on facts that come from reliable sources like research papers do. ● Asking rhetorical questions – Non-academic texts may not necessarily answer any question it has though it may give an obvious answer. Usually, the writer simply lays the answer to be discovered by the reader. ● Rule Breaker – rules in spelling, grammar and other writing mechanics need not be followed by non-academic writers.
