However, they should be used sparingly because students' reading at loads at university can be quite high; there simply isn't time to check every single word. It is also wise to avoid translating, often the translation can be incorrect, inappropriate, or not the correct word form. I recommend Wordnik because it provides a range of definitions from many dictionaries, examples, synonyms and links to texts which have used the word. ]]> 2017-11-07 14:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204376935 Manchester Phrasebank sarahfletcher https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204385318 Manchester Phrasebank contains core phrases which will help you to structure your assignments.

You may now be wondering how can I check whether I am using enough words from the AWL? One option is attached below, another option is the AWL highlighter on EAP Foundation: http://www.eapfoundation.com/vocab/academic/highlighter/
You simply cut and paste sections of your assignment into the yellow text box, then it analyses your text. The yellow words are from the AWL. What is also quite useful about this site is that it puts all the words into alphabetical order. This could help you to identify whether the vocabulary in your assignment is repetitive. ]]> 2017-11-07 15:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204389134 Rewordify: parts of speech sarahfletcher https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204392419 One other way that rewordify can help students is with identifying parts of speech. Plagiarism is a serious offence at university, one way to avoid that is by paraphrasing. It helps if students are familiar with word forms in order to paraphrase. Once students are aware of this, it becomes easier to change the word form, for example, manage (verb) can be changed to management (noun), and then used as either the subject or the object of a sentence. 

Another use of rewordify is in your presentations. Native speakers tend to stress nouns and main verbs as these convey the message. Words like prepositions and articles are often unstressed, and spoken much more quickly because they are no as important. Therefore, using Rewordify to identify parts of speech can help students to make their presentations much clearer. ]]> 2017-11-07 15:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204392419 UEFAP sarahfletcher https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204427845 UEFAP is a one stop shop for students' academic needs. It covers how to reference, word forms - nominalisation (turning verbs and adjectives to nouns), and paragraph structure. ]]> 2017-11-07 16:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204427845 Reporting verbs sarahfletcher https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204448779 When you cite from an article or book, you should aim to use a combination of summarising and paraphrasing. You also need to use a reporting verb if your citation is author prominent. Students are usually familiar with 'states' and 'according to', however, this is limited as there can be a range of stances and strength of arguments in reporting verbs. This guide provides information as to how you can express different functions, and to what extent your stance is similar to the text you have cited from. ]]> 2017-11-07 16:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/204448779 omeraydn058 https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/205317190 2017-11-09 15:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/205317190 omeraydn058 https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/206758565 2017-11-14 15:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/206758565 omeraydn058 https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/206765036 2017-11-14 15:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/206765036 My Simple Show sarahfletcher https://padlet.com/omeraydn058/p09kq66lt04f/wish/207577499 This is another useful site for visual aids in presentations.
