Plagiarism in Writing

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The topic of plagiarism is a highly contentious issue and one that is of growing interest and importance in higher education across the world. Stolen Language? Plagiarism in Writinguncovers the reasons why students plagiarise, and explains what can be done about it. The book shows that the subject of plagiarism is complex and contested, and suggests that in student academic writing it may be a result of learning difficulties related to the educational environment, the nature of academic discourse and the nature of language. Written in a unique and accessible way, the book also looks at the particular difficulties experienced by writers of English as an additional language and provides a practical framework for academics and teachers of writing on how to develop authorial voice and critical thinking in the student writer.
