Following the environment of work, college students assume the role of
formal and proper writing as well as conversations. The qualifications for
joining the college life include but not limited to having a high school
diploma/GED, taking standardized test, applying and finally being accepted.
Conventions in this community are respect towards faculty and staff, proper
grammar and using MLA or APA format in writing, College students use
reports, essays, emails, and business/newsletters to display these
conventions. For instance, students would not talk to professors through text
message unless they approved it. Even while communicating with them, a
student would ensure they are using proper grammar and punctuation.
Writing an email to a professor that reads I cant print cant u help me
2morrow after class? Messages written in this fashion would not be taken
seriously or read by professors.
All in all, there will always be different times and places to use different
writing skills depending on the level of expectance. A grandmother would
expect to receive messages in a respectful manner. A group of friends may
not expect much except basic conversation. Each community will
communicate in its own way that may not always be understood by another
community. Each of my discourse communities have similarities in the way
we communicate, however each is distinct in its own way.
