Academic integrity from the second-language user's perspective

Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)

Understanding and supporting academic integrity in the educational experience of second-language users of English

The well established popularity of English-speaking countries with international students, coupled with a more recent increase in English-medium instruction in other parts of world, has led to a situation in which large numbers of students receive their education in English, despite the fact that it is not their first or primary language.These students are often said to be particularly vulnerable to academic integrity violations (or accusations thereof); at the same time, a small but growing body of research on academic integrity challenges this widespread belief. So what do we really know about the extent to which questions about academic integrity present unique contours for second-language users of English?In this webinar we&#x27;ll look at the ways the educational experience is, and is not, distinctive for those who are studying through the medium of a second language, in order to understand what can and should be done to support them in maintaining high standards of integrity on their educational journeys.Speaker BioDiane Pecorari is Professor and Head of Department in the Department of English at City University of Hong Kong. Her research investigates two aspects of higher education: English as it is used in educational settings, and academic integrity. Her publications include Teaching to avoid plagiarism (Open University Press) and Student plagiarism in higher education (with Philip Shaw; Routledge). Together with Wendy Sutherland-Smith, she guest edited a 2021 issue of the Journal of Academic Ethics on the theme of positive academic ethics.
