TIPS FOR PARAPHRASING
A paraphrase is a way of expressing information from a borrowed text in your own words. Use a blend of three techniques while paraphrasing.
Find synonyms of words and phrases.
Alter the grammatical structures used in the original text.
Alter the word order of the original text.
BUT
Do not make any changes to the meaning of the borrowed information.
AND
Do not forget to give appropriate reference to the original writer.

Examples of paraphrase, summary and direct quotation.
SUMMARY
The effect of error correction on students’ language ability in revised drafts is still being questioned in applied linguistics and composition studies. Research studies investigating the matter may be classified into two strands: one strand investigates the effect of teacher feedback on language errors, while the other strand examines the effect of peer interaction on language development.
- There are two types of error correction method: teacher feedback and peer feedback. Therefore, researchers still investigate the effects of these methods.
PARAPHRASE
Studies that do examine specific language errors generally trace the effect of teacher feedback on reducing these errors in revised drafts (Ferris, 2006; Ferris and Roberts, 2001; Ellis et al., 2008).
- When teachers scan students’ essays, they encounter lots of grammatical errors. In that sense, in order to lessen these errors, recent researches that investigate specific language errors analyze the effect of teacher feedback (Ferris, 2006; Ferris and Roberts, 2001; Ellis et al., 2008).
DIRECT QUOTATION
……….. . However, as Hamp-Lyons (2007) has also pointed out, “it is clear that in many situations writing assessment is taking over from writing instruction” (p. 6 – emphasis in original).
- By emphasizing the importance of feedback in writing, Hamp-Lyons (2007) stated, “it is clear that in many situations writing assessment is taking over from writing instruction” (p. 6).
- For EFL students, feedback is the most effective method to correct the mistakes in writing classes, so “it is clear that in many situations writing assessment is taking over from writing instruction” (Hamp-Lyons, 2007, p. 6).
