This document provides information about paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting sources. It begins with definitions of each: paraphrasing involves restating a passage in your own words while still attributing the source; summarizing involves condensing the main ideas into your own words while still attributing the source; quoting involves using the original wording verbatim.
The document then provides guidelines for each: paraphrasing must be attributed and in your own words but shorter than the original; summarizing must be attributed, in your own words focusing on main points only, and significantly shorter than the original; quoting must be word for word and attributed.
Finally, the document outlines objectives of acknowledging the importance of paraphrasing

The Cold, Unforgiving World of Citations
In Chapter 8, you determined who your audience is for your Semester Project and
locked down your presentation format. You also finalized your thesis statement, research
questions and primary keywords for database searching.
As Travis Bickle would say, you are getting your Semester Project “organizized.”
In this chapter, we will continue our organization process by applying the formal
rigor of APA-style citations. Citations are both unforgivingly precise and very important.
Learning when and how to correctly cite research papers and projects is an essential skill
that will reach well beyond this course. You will need this skill not only for the remainder
of your academic career, but throughout your professional career as well.
COME BACK AND READ THIS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
WINGING IT: Citation style and formatting is a very precise and specific process. The
final grading of your Semester Project submission is
rubric-based, and a significant part of that rubric evaluates
the levels of success in your citation proficiency.
Your LIB100 professor will review your citations for
precision and accuracy and score accordingly. In short,

there is no faking the correct formatting and placement of citations!
Too often, students undervalue the importance of correct citations and formatting
style, waiting until the very last moment to slap something together and hope no one
notices. It never works; they do.
In short, when it comes to citations, you can’t just fake it.
Don’t fall into this trap! As you will soon see, there are many tools, templates and
even entire websites that will help you correctly format citations. It is very important to the
overall success of your Semester Project that you invest the time and effort into learning
the proper execution of research paper/project citations.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

4. PARAPHRASING
- It involves putting a passage from source material into your own words.
- Paraphrased material must also be attributed to the source
- A paraphrase is usually shorter than the original passage
5. SUMMARIZING
- Involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the
main points
- Summaries must also be attributed to the source
- Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and give a broad
overview of the source material
6. QUOTING
- Be identical to the original
- Use a narrow segment of the source
- Match the source document word for word
- Be attributed to the original author
7. Original Passage:
Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result
they overuse quotations in the final [research] paper. Probably only about 10%
of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore,
you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source material
while taking notes.
Lester, James D. Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed. (1976): 4647.
8. Acceptable Paraphrase:
In research papers students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted
material down to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates
during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded
verbatim (Lester 4647).
10. 1. Acknowledge the importance of
paraphrasing, quoting and
summarizing in a research study
2. Define bibliography & citation
3. Determine the guidelines on how
to write proper citing related study
13. Why use quotations, paraphrases, and
summaries?
Provide support for claims or add credibility to your writing
Refer to work that leads up to the work you are now doing
Give examples of several points of view on a subject
Call attention to a position that you wish to agree or disagree with
14. Why use quotations, paraphrases, and
summaries?
Highlight a particularly striking phrase, sentence, or passage by quoting the
original
Distance yourself from the original by quoting it in order to cue readers that
the words are not your own
Expand the breadth or depth of your writing
15. Six Steps to Effective Paraphrasing
Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning. You can’t
paraphrase what you don’t understand.
Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you
envision using this material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or
phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
16. Six Steps to Effective Paraphrasing
Check your version with the original to make sure that your version
accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form.
Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have
borrowed exactly from the source.
Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can
credit it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your paper.
17. Original Passage:
In high school, Hemingway worked on his school newspaper, Trapeze and
Tabula, writing primarily about sports. Immediately after graduation, the
budding journalist went to work for the Kansas City Star, gaining experience
that would later influence his distinctively stripped-down prose style.
18. Acceptable Paraphrase:
X Hemingway worked on his school paper, Trapeze and Tabulain high
school. He wrote mostly about sports. Soon after graduation, the journalist
started working for Kansas City Star, and got experience that would later
influence his unique stripped-down prose style.
Hemingway’s writing career began in high school where he worked on
the student newspaper, Trapeze and Tabula. One of the things from
Hemingway’s past that had a huge impact on his writing career, specifically
his simplistic style, was working for a newspaper after high school at the
Kansas City Star (Ernest Hemingway Biography).
21. What is a citation and citation style?
A citation is a way of giving credit to individuals for their creative and
intellectual works that you utilized to support your research.
A citation style dictates the information necessary for a citation and how
the information is ordered, as well as punctuation and other formatting.
22. Why provide citations for your sources?
Give credit for the thoughts and ideas that you got from other writers.
Provide evidence that you did a thorough job of research while writing your
paper.
Add authority to your arguments by referring to experts in your paper’s field
of study.
Create links for your readers to sources for more information.
Helps you to avoid unintentional plagiarism.
23. What is an “in-text” citation compared
to the References section (APA) or
Works Cited section (MLA)?
The References section (APA- American Psychological Association) or
Works Cited section (MLA- Modern Language Association) of your paper
provides all the information someone needs to be able to locate your
source.
An “in-text” citation is included in the body, or “text,” of your paper, and
provides the smallest amount of information necessary in order to allow
someone to find the full information about the source in the References
(APA) or Works Cited (MLA) section. It is the “bread crumb” to allow
someone to find the “whole loaf.”
24. What is an “in-text” citation compared
to the References section (APA) or
Works Cited section (MLA)?
The References (APA) or Works Cited (MLA) section is usually organized in
alphabetical order by author name, then by date if an author has more than
one publication.
In-text citations are placed in your paper at the point where you make
reference to a particular source.
