Referencing

 Academic referencing (using quotes from or referring to textbooks, websites or the TEFL Academy
online course) is a requirement for this qualification.
 It is not acceptable to provide only the website address, except in the case of images you choose
to use in your materials.
 You must include at least TWO full references for Assignment A in addition to providing links for
any images you use.
 All materials you use or refer to should be properly referenced in a bibliography.
 The purpose of referencing is
 to avoid plagiarism.
 to give your reader enough information to easily find the original source if they want to.

In-Text Citation:
 If you refer to a text in your work, you should refer to it in brackets in a way that allows the reader
to easily find the full reference in the bibliography. E.g., (Scrivener, 2014).
 Providing in-text citations is not a requirement but should be used if necessary.

Bibliography:
 In your bibliography we suggest using the following formats:
Books: Author (date) title, city, publisher, page no.
Example: Jim Scrivener (2014) Teaching English Grammar, Oxford, Macmillan Education, pp 67-8
Websites: Author/Organisation. Date/n.d. Title. Website name, Available at: website address
[Accessed: (date you looked at it)]
Example: Alex Case (March 2008) 15 fun games for the Present Continuous, TEFL.net, Available at:
https://www.tefl.net/elt/ideas/grammar/fun-games-for-present-continuous/ [Accessed
28 February 2022]

 As referencing styles vary from country to country, we do not insist on a particular style, but you
must provide the information shown in these examples.
 Websites often do not provide all this information. Give as much information as is available.
Please note the following:
 'n.d.' stands for 'no date,' use this if no date is given
 If the name of the author is not given, just leave it out.
 For PICTURES, you only need to provide a description of the picture and a hyper-link to the image
(as in the example below), or copy and paste the URL
