Dr. Kothar AL Harrasi shared novel perspectives on” Plagiarism Management in Second Language Writing” on 25.10.2022 with the ELC staff, UTAS-Ibri. She described it as action research developed by the researcher to address the issue of plagiarism and assist tertiary students to master second-language (L2) writing using sources in a higher education institute (HEI) in Oman. The students were asked to write a referenced based essay twice to help them improve their citation skills. Accordingly, specific number of tasks were developed and conducted in 10 weeks.
The sample study was conducted by interviewing the students after the first and the second essay and the variation showed that there was a considerable improvement in their skills and the instances of plagiarism significantly decreased in their second essay. Implications for teaching citation skills in academic L2 writing contexts are discussed.
