Select the correct citation

(Smith, 2019).

Exercise 1

(Smith 2019).

(Johnson and Brown, 2020, p. 75).

Exercise 2

(Johnson & Brown, 2020, p. 75).

(Sheret, Sultana and Sotir 2016)(Sheret, Sultana, & Sotir, 2016) (Sheret et al., 2016)

Exercise 3

18

Correct the citation

Effective teams can be difficult to describe because “high performance along one domain does not translate to high performance along another” (Ervin et al., 2018).

Exercise 4

Excercise 5

(Coles Group Annual report, 2022)

that star employees “. . . have disproportionately high and prolonged performance, visibility, and relevant social capital. . .” (Call, Nyberg, & Thatcher, 2015, p. 630).

Excercise 6

Exercise 4

19

Explain the use of ()

For instance, Garcia-Ruiz and Figueroa (2007) explain that in intercultural exchange, individuals are simultaneously part of different social groups, which means that they participate in different cultures “and that these do not necessarily correspond to identical cultures (...) this process of interaction between social groups and individuals generates practices that make the process more complex” (p. 41).

20

Explain the use of () and []

In my classes, I represent their relationship with their mothers to my students. I feel that the mother’s figure is significant to them. (...) So, the teacher can easily create that bond of “your mother is not here, but I am, I can protect you too”; then, apart from teaching, I think I can protect, I can be with them, I can be their support, and I think that makes me generate that bond, a bond I reinforce in my classes. [sic]

21

Explain the use of []

The following excerpts are examples of how shyness is embedded in feelings of insecurity: “Since one generates questions, I wonder if it will be easy or difficult [to make them]? Can I answer it? How will the people around me react? The insecurity” (Yina, 08/15/19).

Group Dynamics. Students’ interactions within the club influence their emotions. This is clear in Nathalia’s journal entry (08/29/19): “[I felt] an extra interest; in addition to working with people with whom you feel some empathy or simply do not bother ... me, they generate a feeling of satisfaction and make the class more enjoyable”.

21

Guess the rule

From that sense, Bermudez Jiménez et al. (2021) argued, Consequently, elementary teachers face significant disadvantages in rural settings.

Teacher training should be committed as early as possible not only to programs oriented towards the successful acquisition of a foreign language and the relevant mastery of its teaching, but above all to the effective knowledge of the construction of educational and linguistic policy agendas. (p. 21)
