ABSTRACT
This chapter concludes some of the findings of the exploration into plagiarism and the practice of referencing, and attempt to begin to develop a pedagogy for dealing with the problem of plagiarism and the appropriate documentation of sources within the curriculum. These are difficulties experienced by all students. Also evident in relation to plagiarism, particularly where it concerns students using English as an Additional Language, is the fact that all language is learnt and reproduced in chunks or formulas, so that phrases which are reproduced word-for-word, or only slightly altered, may be a necessary part of the language learning process. Thus there are a range of underlying causes for plagiarism in student writing, few of which seem to be intention to deceive. It has deliberately not dealt with intentionally fraudulent plagiarism in any way. It is the belief that plagiarism is much more a problem of academic literacy than academic dishonesty, although the latter of course does take place.
