Résumé :	The present study aims at exploring the reasons behind the apparently common use of informal language forms by students of English in their academic writing which is supposed to be formal. The study takes the specific case of third year LMD students at University of Constantine 1, and hypothesizes that students’ extensive exposure to informal English may be an important reason that lies behind their confusion. The research tools used to test the hypothesis are a collection and analysis of a sample of sixty three students’ written expression exam papers with the aim of gathering data about the frequency and the type of informal forms used by the participants in their essays, and a questionnaire which was administrated to the same students to know about the type of English they are exposed to. The findings of the analysis of the essays show that the participants used informal forms like contractions, abbreviations, personal pronouns, vague language, and colorful language while the analysis of the questionnaire shows that students are more exposed to informal language than to the formal one. So, the hypothesis we tested came to be validated.
