2. Write a sentence or two for each that describes the research and cites the authors. You should try different ways of writing the description and citing the authors:

The article’ Reporting verbs in medical journal articles,’ by Thomas and Hayes describes the reporting verbs used in reporting statements, or citations, in medical journal articles and their role in the discourse (Thomas & Hawes, 1994, Abstract).

As stated by Park, Mardis, & Jo Ury (2011) in the article, ‘I’ve lost my identity – oh, there it is … in a style manual: Teaching citation styles and academic honesty’, the paper aims to share the process that Northwest Missouri State University B.D. Owens Library uses to decrease plagiarism.

In the article, ‘Citation Generators: Generating Bibliographies for the Next Generation,’ Kessler & Van Ullen analyze the role that citation generator play in helping bring accountability in writing (2005).

3. Choose one article and write a sentence that quotes from the article. Be sure to use correct APA style citations.

Park, Mardis, & Jo Ury state in the paper, I’ve lost my identity – oh, there it is … in a style manual: Teaching citation styles and academic honesty, “To address an increasingly fluid online academic environment, this case study provides a systematic approach, which includes online style manual textbooks, tutorials, instruction, and reference,’ (Park, Mardis, & Jo Ury, 2011, Abstract).

The article ‘I’ve lost my identity – oh, there it is … in a style manual: Teaching citation styles and academic honesty’ by Park, Mardis, & Jo Ury suggests that, “Citation reference questions as a percentage of the total number of reference questions answered by librarians are on the rise,” (2011, Abstract)

According to Park, Mardis, & Jo Ury (2011), “Students frequently struggle with identifying types of sources listed in database or bibliography citations, causing them to create bibliographies filled with errors,” (Abstract)

Identify 2 books, of which one is an edited volume (each chapter is written by a different author).

4. Write the complete APA style reference for each book.

Lipson, C. (2011). Cite Right, Second Edition: A Quick Guide to Citation Styles–MLA, APA, Chicago, the Sciences, Professions, and More (2nd ed.). Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press.

Pérez-Vidal, C. (Ed.). (2014). Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts. Amsterdam, Netherlands: John Benjamins Publishing Company.

Valls-Ferrer, M., & Mora, J. C. (2014). Chapter 5. L2 fluency development in formal instruction and study abroad. In C. Pérez-Vidal (Ed.), Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts (pp. 111-136). Amsterdam, Netherlands: John Benjamins Publishing Company.

Pérez-Vidal (Ed.), Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts (pp. 1-14). Amsterdam, Netherlands: John Benjamins Publishing Company.

8. Write a sentence or two describing the results of the research using appropriate citations.

In the book, ‘Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts,’ Valls-Ferrer and Mora in chapter five discuss L2 fluency development across Formal Instruction (FI) and Study Abroad (SA) learning periods, thus investigating one of the research questions in the SALA Project, namely whether a three-month SA after a FI period results in significant benefits (Pérez-Vidal, 2014, p. 111).

Valls-Ferrer and Mora stated in chapter five of ‘Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts,’ by Perez Vidal (2014) that the longitudinal approach in the present study focused both on the period abroad and on the FI periods before and after SA (111)

9. Write a sentence that quotes from the article with appropriate citations.

While discussing the Contributions of study abroad research to our understanding of SLA processes and outcomes in chapter one of ‘Language Acquisition in Study Abroad and Formal Instruction Contexts,’ Christian Sanz writes, “Central to research on second language acquisition (SLA) has been the question of the potential effects of learning conditions on rate of acquisition and final attainment, with enough publications to allow for meta-analyses” (Pérez-Vidal, 2014, p. 1).
