Re: [Air-L] Plagiarism Lines Blur for Students in the Digital Age

In addition to Alex Halavais' (non-apologetic) notion of 'cheating good', I'd like to add that 'copying' or rather imitating can be an effective strategy in language-learning, again, if done right. I'll add a link to a paper on 'microplagiarism' as I dubbed it in preparation of the 2007 microlearning conference in Innsbruck, which looks at specifically this aspect: http://www.scribd.com/mobile/documents/32515468 The full conference proceedings should also still be available on microlearning.org best wishes Jana Herwig University of Vienna, Austria
