Using material from websites
|
Good morning everybody,
According to the new rules of eslprintables website, it �s ok to use a text from a different website ( not an esl one ) on the condition to add one �s own questions & exercises.
I was wondering if I should mention the site from which I took the text.
I �m a new member & that �s why I �m afraid to be reported as stoling material from other websites!
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to our community
It �s a good idea to site the source and then there can be no problems.
Better safe than sorry.

Hi Habibb
In many English speaking countries it is habitual to cite information sources to avoid being accused of plagiarism. Our children are taught referencing in primary school, our businesses do it in their reports, we teachers do it in our job - everyone does it. Uinversity students are expelled if they continue to plagiarise after x amount of warnings.
Although perhaps not the same in other countries it is a good practice to get into so that you not only set a good example to your students by making them aware of copyright and plagiarism but also so that you protect yourself and your work. Like Joy2Bill says, if you cite your source there shouldn �t be any problems.
Cheers
