This newsletter is designed to help make their often-overlooked contributions to the University of Minnesota more visible And more greetings from Jon Cullick, our amazing Associate Director ON PLAGIARISM INTRODUCTION ROBIN HEMENWAY I think that it should be considered absolutely essential to talk about plagiarism in freshman comp courses, particularly since upper-division composition courses are no longer being taught by the English department. I've taught upper level courses in American Studiescourses in which library research is almost always requiredand have found myself aghast at how often even juniors and seniors don't know the first thing about how to use sources appropriately. And they really DON'T KNOW. Most of the cases of plagiarism that I see are not intentional The student simply doesn't know that what he/she is doing is inappropriate.

These include making predictions from titles and pictures, identifying the main idea as well as supporting ideas, listening for specific information, inferring meaning and using different contexts to determine meaning The purpose of this course is to teach students how to use knowledge and information from a conversation to give their own opinion and therefore to agree or disagree with others. They will also learn how to ask and answer questions during general conversations and other specialized situation. English Listening/Advanced English Listening In the second and third year, more advanced listening passages will be introduced. Students will be able to use the skills learnt in the previous semesters and polished them better.

Textbooks will be used but will occasionally be substituted by movies and clips from movies or TV programs. Oral Training in English This is a second year speaking training course where students are able to recycle the materials they have learnt from their previous classes and to develop their short dialogues into presentations. Other communication strategies, vocabulary, and useful expressions will be introduced thematically. Supportive framework for learning that provides learners with the language and opportunity to express accurately and with confidence will be heavily emphasized in this course.

Once there, you would lay claim to an entire table so you could lay out encyclopedias, dictionaries, English books to help with punctuation and sentence structure. Now, term papers and writing assignments are as easy as turning on your computer. With a good word processor and a connection to the Internet, an A on your homework or a job promotion for your presentation is only a keystroke away. T he Internet can be a wonderful source of information for anyone who is looking for help with English or in writing letters, stories or essays. Of course, the best idea is to go straight to a search engine such as Infoseek, Yahoo or Alta Vista for help. A large number of the sites related to grammar are linked to each other. Everything is available on the Internet; grammar rules and examples of each; colleges that contain lessons and tests; explanations of punctuation rules and sites that merely 'talk' about the English language and the rules governing it. There are even sites that have all of the above. I have attempted to find a large sampling of the previously mentioned web sites that deal with grammar, punctuation, and writing.
Annotations Prepared By Barbara Reid Narrative is one of the first styles used in teaching composition because of The author is a full professor in the Department of Applied linguistics and http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/egw/reid1.htm
Extractions: 5 Biber, D. Variation across speech and writing. Reference: Stockton, S. (1995). Writing in history: Narrating the subject of time. Written Communication, 12 Summary: Stockton contrasts the valued narrative of history with the discursive style of English literary criticism where narrative (plot summary) is discouraged in favor of clearly stated premises with clearly presented arguments (what apparently she had expected to find in the "best" history papers given her interviews with professors). She sees that the self-conscious attention to argument of literary criticism destabilizes the temporal system that history tries to construct. History as argument cuts the past away from the present, thus use of the present tense is not encouraged. A thesis is not placed near the beginning of a paper, but rather woven into the flow of events. Although it is not the intent of this article to relate findings to ESL students, it is interesting that bright literary criticism majors had difficulty writing papers for history. In fact, it was some time before they became aware of what the differences were between the two disciplines and were able to conform to them. If bright NS English majors have difficulty identifying differences, it would seem there is a real need for NNS speakers to have concrete instruction about these differences, particularly in view of the fact that history professors state (if these 12 are representative of history professors in general) a preference for discursive papers but actuallyvalued cause and effect narrative papers.

Decoding ESL: International students in the American college classroom. Portsmouth, NH: Boynton /Cook Publishers, Inc. This book discusses how ESL college students in the academic literature/composition classroom use various learning styles in their reading and writing. Tucker uses the research of contrastive rhetoric to help explain why ESL students choose certain learning strategies to read and write in the ESL classroom. Each chapter is a case study of one of her students and the progress he/she makes throughout English 105, a required course. Included are issues relating to learner motivation, composition and grammatical issues, more specifically, how to handle error correction, classroom techniques and syllabus design. The study follows five individual students and their struggle as they begin to understand how to use correct English grammar and form and at the same time retain their own individual approach and cultural diversity that brings such richness to the ESL students' compositions.

The ACP Journal Club Collection consists of two journals ACP Journal Club, a publication of the American College of Physicians, and Evidence-Based Medicine, a joint publication with the British Medical Journal Group. The editors of ACP Journal Club screen the top clinical journals on a regular basis and identify studies that are both methodologically sound and clinically relevant. They write an enhanced abstract of the chosen articles and provide a commentary on the value of the article for clinical practice. Using this source, clinicians can quickly understand and apply to their practice important changes in medical knowledge, without having to read and synthesize for themselves thousands of journal articles.
