What does re cite do?

Very simply, Recite checks that your in text citations match the reference list at the end of your work.

First, Recite checks that the authors and dates in the body of your work match up with the references at the end. Then Recite tells you where it finds errors.

Recite also checks for a growing list of stylistic errors related to referencing.

This website has useful tips and tricks for speaking English in academic contexts.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Introduction

The three main kinds of acadmic speaking activity that students will be involved in are:

Group Work

Formal Seminars

Oral presentations.

Speaking in academic contexts is becoming increasingly important as teaching methods change to involve more group work, joint projects and group marks. Students see problems if other students are not seen to be pulling their weight in collaborative work. It is therefore important to try to be more aware of what is involved in seminar or group activity and to learn some of the interactional language that is used there. It is important to practise making presentations, taking part in discussions on academic topics and so on.

You need to learn about:

The purpose of seminars.

Making a presentation: the structure of presentations making and using notes to speak from. Introducing the topic giving the information in detail sequencing, describing similarities and differences comparing and contrasting illustrating a point - giving examples and referring to research emphasising a point summarising and concluding.

Controlling the discussion: leading the discussion changing the subject - moving on speeding up things coming to a conclusion.

Participating in the discussion: interrupting politely asking questions - asking for more information/clarification stating a point of view - supporting your view agreeing and disagreeing - challenging and commenting making suggestions checking - making sure that you have understood holding the floor - preventing interruptions.

Listening and note taking.

Advice

In seminars, the same as with writing, plan your talk. If you are going to get as many marks for speaking as writing, spend as much time on it as your writing. Written language is different from spoken language. If you just read out your essay or report, no one will understand you.
