IN-TEXT CITATION GUIDE
What are in-text citations?
An in-text citation is a citation within your writing to show where you found your information, facts, quotes,
and research. APA in-text citation style uses the author's last name and the year of publication, for
example: (Field, 2005). For direct quotations, include the page number as well, for example: (Field, 2005,
p. 14). For sources such as websites and e-books that have no page numbers, use a paragraph number
instead, for example: (Fields, 2015, para.3).
In-text citations follow any sentence in your writing that contains a direct quote, or paraphrased or
summarized information from an outside source.
Each in-text citation in your writing must also have a corresponding entry in your References list. There
are two exceptions to this rule: personal communications, like interviews, emails, or classroom discussion
posts, and classic religious texts, like the Bible or the Koran. These types of sources should be cited by
in-text citations only.
Always include in-text citations for:
direct quotes
paraphrased information
summarized information
All in-text citations require the same basic information:
Author
Date of publication (or “n.d.” if there is “no date”)
Page or paragraph number (for direct quotes only)
Basic Examples of In-Text Citations
For a quote: “The systematic development of literacy and schooling meant a new division in
society, between the educated and the uneducated” (Cook-Gumperz, 1986, p. 27).
For paraphrased material: Some educational theorists suggest that schooling and a focus on
teaching literacy divided society into educated and uneducated classes (Cook-Gumperz, 1986).
For summarized material: Schooling and literacy contributed to educational divisions in society
(Cook-Gumperz, 1986).
NOTE: If you mention the author and the year in your writing to introduce the quote or paraphrased
material, then you need only include the page or paragraph number in the in-text citation.

For example:
According to Jenny Cook-Gumperz (1986), “The systematic development of literacy and
schooling meant a new division in society, between the educated and the uneducated” (p. 27).
Additional In-Text Citation Models
For online sources:
For a web page: The USDA is “taking steps to help farmers, ranchers, and small businesses
wrestling with persistent drought” (United States Department of Agriculture, 2015, “USDA Drought
Programs and Assistance,” para. 1).
Format: (Website Author, Year, “Web Page Title,” paragraph number).
For an online article: The F.B.I. “warned the families not to talk publicly” about the hostages
(Wright, 2015, para. 2).

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Step 1: Choose and Copy a Quotation
The most important part of the
process is finding a quote that
effectively supports your
position, idea, or statement.
When copying a quotation, be
sure you double-check the
accuracy of the wording.
**Note the page number and
year of publication. This will
help save time when creating
your in-text citation.
3. Step 2: Write
a Sentence
to Introduce
the
Quotation
Before including your quotation, write a sentence
that helps the reader understand why you are
including the quote.
Position, Idea, or Statement to be Supported:
There are several maxims in Franklin’s “Way to
Wealth” that reflect what one needs to do in
order to achieve the American Dream.
Sentence Introducing Quote: One principle that is
repeated throughout the essay is the idea that a
person must not waste time.
4. Step 3:
Attach a
Signal
Phrase to the
Quotation
A signal phrase helps ease the reader
into your chosen quotation. It does
not need to be complex; a few words
or orient the reader will suffice.
Signal Phrase: Franklin demonstrates
this idea when he writes,
Quotation: “But dost thou love life, then
do not squander time, for that’s the
stuff life is made of”
5. Step 4: Write Your Sentence and Add an
In-text Citation
In-text citations for our textbook
are as follows:
(author last name, original year of
publication/date of textbook
publication, p. # on which your
quote appears)
Franklin demonstrates this idea
when he writes, “But dost thou love
life, then do not squander time, for
that’s the stuff life is made of”
(Franklin, 1758/2017, p. 209).
6. Step 5: Follow Up Your Quote with a
Sentence
Remind
• After providing the support for
your ide, remind your readers
of your original point.
Signal Phrase and Quotation:
• Franklin demonstrates this idea
when he writes, “But dost thou
love life, then do not squander
time, for that’s the stuff life is
made of” (Franklin, 1758/2017, p.
209).
Follow-Up Sentence:
• This shows that one must not
waste time being idle to live a
successful and happy life.
7. Step 6: Put It
All Together
Franklin demonstrates this idea when he writes, “But
dost thou love life, then do not squander time, for
that’s the stuff life is made of” (Franklin, 1758/2017, p.
209). This shows that one must not waste time being
idle to live a successful and happy life.
8. Step 7: Include a Reference Citation
Reference citations for our textbook are as follows:
Author, A.A., & B.B. (Year of textbook publication). Title. In A. Editor & B. Editor (Eds.),
Title of book (edition) (inclusive page numbers). Norton. (original year of publication).
Franklin, B. (2017). The way to wealth. In R.S. Levine, M. A. Elliott, S. M. Gustafson, A.
Hungerford, & M. Loeffelholz (Eds.), The Norton anthology of American literature
