A Study on the Education of Citation in Academic Writing for Foreign Students

This study examines the process of teaching citation that foreign students should use for the realization of discourse synthesis, and aims at developing teaching methods about citation in academic writing. This article analyzes the students’ writing based on the system and the rules of citation. In addition, teaching materials used in the university were studied and several methodological problems could be specified. First, most students do not only lack well-rounded background knowledge, but also the need to refer to other texts in their writing, and this is the crucial cause of inappropriate citation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the method to promote their motives and students should set up the purposes for proper academic reference. Second, even though many teaching materials treat citation, the texts presented as samples are not suitable to learners. Most examples include complex elements to comprehend and do not fulfill educational goals, especially in citation. Consequently, students should be provided with materials having exercises based on their levels. Third, students usually make a simple copy of references, and lack the ability to use the strategy depending on different texts. Therefore, the system and specific procedure of citation should be included in teaching methods according to learners’ level. (Korea University)
