    QUOTING LINES FROM A BOOK

    According to Saville-Troike, Second Language Acquisition

    QUOTING LINES FROM A BOOK


    SLA has been defined in many ways by many writers. This is
    one of the most noted definitions of SLA.
    Second Language Acquisition (SLA) refers both to
    the
    study of individuals and groups who are learning a
    language subsequent to learning their first one as
    young
    children, and to the process of learning that language.
    The additional language is called a second language
    (L2), even though it may actually be the third, fourth,
    or tenth to be acquired. It is also commonly called a
    target language (TL), which refers to any language
    that is the aim
    or goal of learning.

    THE

    QUOTING LINES FROM A POEM


    Robert Frosts concluding lines are remarkable:
    The woods are lovely, dark, and deep.
    But I have promises to keep.
    And miles to go before I sleep.
    And miles to go before I sleep. (13-16)
    According to Ellen Sturgis Hooper, I slept and dreamed that
    life was Beauty;/I woke, and found that life was Duty (1-2).

    THE

    QUOTING LINES FROM A PLAY


    Shakespeare describes the power of imagination aptly:
    Theseus. As imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
    Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name. (5.1 15-18)

    CITING FROM A WEB SOURCE


    According to the web source Wikipedia, CALL dates back to
    the 1960s, when it was first introduced on university
    mainframe computers.
    According to the Frankfurt International School website,
    Krashen believes that there is no fundamental
    difference between the way we acquire our first language
    and our
    subsequent languages. He claims that humans
    have an
    innate ability that guides the language learning
    process. Infants learn their mother tongue simply by
    listening
    attentively to spoken language that is (made)
    meaningful to them. Foreign languages are acquired in the
    same way.

    THE

    PLAGIARISM
    Root word = Plagiarus (to steal or to kidnap)
    Stealing somebodys work and using it as ones own
    When you provide information in the research
    without mentioning from where you took it, it is
    called plagiarism (stealing of information).
    It is very clear that a pun was to him, a fatal
    Cleopatra. But John Donne was a master in
    the use of puns. (example of plagiarism)
    It is very clear that A pun was to him, a fatal
    Cleopatra (Johnson 34). But John Donne was
    a master in the use of puns. (original writing)
