#Academic writing
The claim is where you where you make your main point – it's a key part of academic argument. If there's no claim, there's no argument.

You need to support your claim with evidence. We are talking about opinions here, not facts – good evidence backs up the points you make.

Justification is where you explain why the evidence supports the claim – sometimes this can be left out if it's obvious or a widely held belief.

Claim, evidence and justification all combine to produce a clear argument.

Counter-arguments are important. If you include them in your writing it shows that you have considered more than one side of an argument.

Tell your reader your limitations. This doesn't mean that your writing is lower quality but actually helps the reader understand your context better.

Arguing – in the academic sense

In academic writing, getting your point across is crucial. But you have to make sure the language you use isn't too informal – or even rude. Scroll down and try these activities to work on your language of argument.

A language of argument glossary

Let's start by looking at some key terms and concepts related to academic arguments.

claim
The claim is the point you are making. For example:

The use of 3D technology in the film Avatar transformed the way big-budget movies are made.

This is not a fact. Other people might have a different opinion. Therefore you need to support this claim with evidence.

justification
What about justification? It is the logical thinking that explains why the evidence supports the claim. It’s sometimes called the warrant. In many cases, the justification is not actually written down as part of the argument, as it an obvious assumption or widely held belief. The warrant here could be:

Because Avatar used 3D technology in a new, ambitious way and achieved great financial success, other big-budget movies copied this technique in the hope they would make more money. In this way, Avatar changed the film industry, and transformed audience expectations.

counter-arguments
Arguments can also include counter-arguments.

This is where you anticipate potential rejections of your argument.

Many other big-budget films after Avatar have not employed 3D. The James Bond movie, Spectre, made almost $900m in cinemas in 2015. Therefore, you don’t need to be 3D to be successful.

Avatar did not invent the 3D film. The first commercially released 3D film was The Power of Love, produced in 1922.

evidence
The evidence is the data or information you use to support your claim.

Avatar used 3D technology in a more ambitious way than ever before.
Avatar earned $2.8bn in cinemas around the world, more than any other movie in history.
After Avatar, the number of big-budget feature films using 3D technology increased dramatically (Motion Picture Association of America, 2017).
Six out of the ten most popular films shown in the UK in 2016 were available in 3D.

These pieces of evidence may be drawn from many different sources. When including the work of others, you need to reference it.

limitations
In certain kinds of academic papers, it’s important to include what we call limitations. If you are reporting and analysing the results of a survey, for example, you need to talk about the weakest areas of your study. This could be related to the methodology or sample size, for instance:

This study was limited by the small sample size…

Band 9 Vocabulary and Grammar Chunks:
Day 3 Topic:
Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
What other measures do you think might be effective?


1. Tackle the growing issues: Governments around the world are implementing various strategies to tackle the growing issues of traffic congestion and pollution.

2. Traffic congestion and pollution: Cities with high population densities often suffer from severe traffic congestion and air pollution due to excessive car usage.

3. Optimal solution: While increasing petrol prices might seem like the optimal solution, it is important to consider its potential drawbacks and explore alternative approaches.

4. Potential benefits: Proponents argue that increasing petrol prices would deter people from excessive car usage and encourage them to explore more sustainable transportation options, such as public transit or cycling.

5. Strongly disagree: I strongly disagree with the notion that increasing petrol prices is the best way to address traffic and pollution problems, as it may have unintended consequences and disproportionately impact certain groups.

6. More effective measures: Instead of relying solely on petrol price increases, more effective measures should be considered to tackle traffic congestion and pollution.

7. Raise petrol prices: Some policymakers propose to raise petrol prices as a means to discourage car usage and reduce traffic congestion.

8. Simply raising petrol prices: However, simply raising petrol prices without implementing additional measures might not lead to the desired outcomes.

9. Undue burden: Increasing petrol prices excessively would place an undue burden on low-income individuals who heavily rely on private transportation for their daily commute.

10. Living standards: Higher petrol prices can significantly impact the living standards of individuals and families, as it increases their transportation expenses and reduces their disposable income.

11. Escalating fuel expenses: Escalating fuel expenses can have a cascading effect on the prices of goods and services, as transportation costs rise and businesses pass on the additional expenses to consumers.

12. Production and delivery costs: Increasing fuel expenses not only affect personal transportation but also impact the production and delivery costs of goods, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers.

13. Ripple effect: Higher petrol prices can create a ripple effect throughout the economy, affecting various sectors and increasing the cost of living for the general population.

14. Social and economic inequalities: Policies solely focused on increasing petrol prices can deepen existing social and economic inequalities, as low-income individuals bear a disproportionate burden compared to their wealthier counterparts.

15. Prohibitive measures: Prohibitive measures, such as significantly increasing the price of a specific item, can often lead to unintended consequences and illicit activities.

16. Unintended consequences: For example, the alcohol ban in the United States during the Prohibition era led to the rise of illegal alcohol production and distribution, along with associated criminal activities.

17. Alternative measures: It is crucial to explore alternative measures that can effectively address traffic congestion and pollution without imposing excessive burdens on individuals.

18. Sustainable transportation practices: Encouraging sustainable transportation practices, such as promoting public transportation usage and carpooling, can help alleviate traffic congestion and reduce individual carbon footprints.

19. Public transportation: Investing in the expansion and improvement of public transportation networks can provide viable alternatives to private car usage, resulting in reduced traffic congestion.
