Beyond the database demo: Using discourse analysis to improve research and citation practices
Fiona Inglis - Seneca College
Citation errors and plagiarism are often caused, in part, by a fundamental lack of understanding of the research process. Using my background in applied linguistics, I encouraged my students to take a discourse analysis approach to their sources in order to deepen their understanding of research. In this session, I will give a brief overview of the theoretical background to my project, demonstrate some of the activities I developed, and discuss future research directions.
