Difficulties in paraphrasing arise from lack of English language proficiency and academic writing skills as well as low reading comprehension.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writing centres were established at a number of universities in South Africa to help students develop their academic skills through appropriate interventions. Nevertheless, additional intervention strategies need to be implemented to help them avoid plagiarism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One such intervention, in the form of translation, was investigated at a rural university campus to test whether translation would reduce plagiarism amongst first-year students.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A quantitative research approach was used to collect and analyse the data. Plagiarism in students\u2019 work was detected using manual evaluations and the TurnitinTM application.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An intervention was carried out to develop students\u2019 skills in paraphrasing and inform them about plagiarism.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article describes the scaffolding process followed and reports on the results found after applying the translation method.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Marga Stander of the School of Humanities recently had a research article published in the Journal of Further and Higher Education.
