Why learn academic English?

I think that the single most important reason to learn academic English is so that you come off professional, experienced and intelligent in a work environment. So that when you have something important to get across, weather it's to your boss or employee, it comes off effectively and your statement sounds powerful. You aren't going to get anywhere with anyone if you can't find the right words for the message you mean to deliver because then you will come off unsure both of your message, and yourself. If you are assertive with your language you will seem like a person who wants and will get things done, and that’s the kind of people there is a demand for out there in the real world. The reason I picked the work place as the most important reason is because none of us really use the formal way of speaking at home or with our friends, when we’re relaxed and not worried about keeping a job. But most of us will be at work about eight hours a day, five days a week, so we might as well learn academic English.
