Metacognitive Analysis:

These rules are useful for us, as future teachers, especially when we are involved in academic writing. It is equally useful for our future students since it is an excellent way to teach them to be honest, and give credit to those people who helped them to develop their ideas. To cite correctly would also give more credibility to their productions, highlighting their own ideas. From my point of view, our students must become aware that there is a formal way of citing; it is an interesting fact.

The most useful contributions are made in such a way where the primary writer or researchers will receive credit for his or her unique and original contribution but will also leave room for others to add to the dialogue to build off points made earlier to refine them and reinterpret them. One way to achieve this is through the effective use of HEDGING. Definition of hedging Lakoff defined it as words whose job it is to make things more or less fuzzy. Words that can make statement less clear or absolute Hyland wrote that Hedging is the expression of tentativeness and possibility in language use. It represents an absence of certainty and is used to describe an linguistic item or strategy employed to indicate either a lack of commit...
