Here's a correction to the title I mentioned in my previous email.
The booklet is actually called "Avoiding Plagiarism: a Guide for ESL
Students," by Tania Pattison. I think Trent also puts out a booklet
called just "Plagiarism," but it is not the version I intended to
recommend. Sorry for the confusion. I am not a detail person!

>>I would like to recommend a small booklet published by Trent

>>Hi all,
>>
>>Saint Mary's is currently looking into resurrecting an "ESL 100" course,
>>which seems like it will focus on how to write an academic essay in
>>English (with particular emphasis on plagiarism). I don't have a TESL
>>background, so I'm just wondering if any of you have any educated
>>thoughts on whether this would be useful or not.
>>As a bit of background, Saint Mary's does have a TESL centre, but it is
>>geared towards students who will register in the university the
>>following year (i.e. a prep school), not for students already attending
>>the school. As well, all SMU students have to take one half-year English
>>literature course (no composition is taught in it).
>>
>>Any thoughts that you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank
>>you!
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>Julie-Ann
