Email is easiest and best communication channel among the present technology although paper communication cannot be replaced email plays a significant role in case of communication. Email in today’s organization or workplace is mandatory and even in graduate schools email from professors and students are very common and important. The most useful way of email is information can be never be deleted or edited it can be kept for longer time. In today’s world more than 300 billion mails are sent every day. Email cannot replace paper work or face to face communication because if there is any information that is confidential than paper work is better option. With latest technology of smartphones email consumes time and work.
In my opinion I believe that professors should make students follow certain format because the emails sent by the students are very casual and informal which becomes impolite and rude which is not accepted by the professors and annoys them. Professors should implement pedagogical intervention regarding the emails sent by students but notall students send informal students there are students who know the right format and etiquette to mail a professor.
The article about students writing emails to faculty about e-politeness it says that email sometimes becomes a bad etiquette of English by students and the informal language they use but on the other side it says that emails technology also allows in communicating between professors and students that may improve the politeness and have realistic experience. The whole article studies and examines request sent by different graduate students to faculty at an American University(SigrunBiesenbach, 2007).From the above article I can conclude that students can improv...

Sometimes, these thoughts may be viewed differently from other individuals. For example, our class was writing poorly in class and missed basic grammatical errors. This event led to an outburst by our professor expressing signs of disappointment. During his harsh lecture, the professor told us that it was a lack of disrespect towards the writer to have careless work as it showed an attitude towards the audience. As illustrated, writing in an informal way can often be interpreted as an attitude towards an employer. As stated by Wiens, writing is “ a projection of you of your physical absence”(Wiens 500) making any of one’s words significant. With no other form of seeing the individuals, employers can only understand the individuals through their papers. For other instances, Truss has explained that texting has created a form of disrespect in company. In the text, Truss stated that individuals “composing a quick reply while in company is likewise quite rude”(Truss 497), yet these actions continue to be a standard norm. While that is often disrespectful during a family dinner or with friends, it is sadly a normal occurrence. To eventually avoid these situations, individuals need to learn to write and present themselves in an amiable manner. Consequently, these actions should improve the focus on the type of writing presented towards anyone so that it presents itself as
Among all the communication mediums used in an organization, emails are used widely as an effective form of a business communication. From the company’s CEO to an employee of the business, emails are very easy and inexpensive. “Internal emails can function as an effective communication for sharing basic information, such as new cafeteria prices, paper use guidelines, or security precautions, for example. Sending simple messages to an entire workforce with just the click of a mouse is fast, easy, convenient and can save the company money”. (Lorette,

Worthern further advances her claim by utilizing specific experiences of different professors. For example, she states the encounters from a Math professor Mark Tomforde as well as an English professor Angela Jackson- Brown to provide different perspectives to support her claim of the exacerbated use of informal language in conversing with professors. Professor Mark Tomforde reflects a moment,“There were also the emails written like text messages. Worse than the text abbreviation was the level of informality, with no address or sign off.” Through the narration of Professor Tomforde, who has taught over twenty decades, Worthern presents a believable witness of the transformation of how students address to the professor. It highlights students’ informality has exceeded the limit of being acceptable in a college environment in addition to the gradual disappearance of the value of respect. Similarly, Professor Jackson-Brown recalls, “deference has waned ...I go out of my way to not give them [ the students] access to my
For example, Meyerhoff describes the use of an honorific form of a word as a demonstration of respect by the speaker towards the person with whom they are speaking (85). In order to collect data, researchers may analyze audio recordings, observe social interactions, or review transcriptions. Meyerhoff provides the example of a trascribed exchange in Japanese in which a student and a professor both elect to use the honorific forms in their conversation. When speaking in Japanese, “speakers have to be very discerning: they have to be sensitive to the social significance of the relationships and settings they find themselves in and be able to appropriately draw on the conventions for use of honorifics in those settings” (85). Although this is the specific methodology in Japanese politeness, other languages may hold an identical
Appendix I shows that during the business conversation, I am capable of writing E-mail in a professional manner by including crucial information, adapting business-like format and being polite. During the education in college, I engage many conversations with instructors in E-mail and other forms. Their expertise and high requirement for written files develop my writing skills profoundly.
From analyzing the data, the English teacher’s utterances which are classified as using positive politeness strategy are presented as the followings.
The decision to monitor e-mail is left to the organization that provides the e-mail service to users. These organizations can range from educational institutions and private corporations, to governments and non-profit organizations. Each of these different types of organizations has a different agenda and goals, not only in general, but also for their members-and more specifically, for their members' e-mail. While educational institutions can provide e-mail facilities to their constituents for the purposes of convenience, employers almost always maintain e-mail facilities for the sole purpose of improving the on-the-job productivity of their employees.

The study shows that online interaction has a positive impact on developing students’ communication skill and appreciation towards other people’s cultures. Chun (2011) investigated the effect of online communication tools used in asynchronous and synchronous communication to the students’ language style, and students’ performance in conveying various expressions related to speech acts in writing. The study found that while asynchronous communication contains longer and more complex sentences, synchronous communication reflected more engagement and evidence of the development of intercultural competence compare to asynchronous communication due to the lack of personal interactions. Online collaboration also enhances the development of opportunities that might not have been available in a traditional class setting. This opportunity enables the students to link theory and practice and has a practical dimension of their course by interacting with others (Dooly et al.,

A useful thing about internet is the electronic mail, as it gives us faster results than its regular and normal air mail. Internet gives information in any aspects of knowledge which is useful for student and for the business. Internet changes our life (and where sure to that). It gives us a lot of knowledge, advantages and disadvantage of course and we should be aware to that by using it and knowing what are those disadvantages. Though it gives a lot of advantages to us we should always look on the other side of it, for the reason of the social development growth especially to children. (Sonia79, 2005)
