Hello! I am a writer. I have almost finished writing my book. According to your video, CopyLeaks is the most reliable plagiarism checker that comes closest to Turnitin in accuracy. Can I use CopyLeaks to run a check of my final manuscript before submitting it to publishers? Also, does CopyLeaks have a separate AI plagiarism check tool? And if it does, is it as accurate as the one you mentioned in the video?
In our review Copyleaks came out as the best as you can see. Yes, you can use Copyleaks to check a final manuscript but will have to pay for full version I expect. With regards to AI this is a shady area with all AI / plagiarism checkers because if you use grammarly for example to spell / grammar check your work, then this is considered AI. At present, most universities in the UK don't really know how to deal with the rise of AI or how to to detect it. I hope this helps.
Watch the video for the answer 🙃. Also check your grammar: can + infinitive NOT can + past participle. So your question should be 'Can you normalise this sentence?'
Great video! I used to teach academic skills and essay writing at various UK universities, and in 2013 SAGE Publications released the first edition of my book, Academic Writing and Grammar for Students. Over the past year, I’ve been working on a third edition, which just released! The book is a practical, accessible guide to writing essays using clear, appropriate academic language. At the end of each chapter, I recommend some other resources that my readers might find useful. For this latest edition, I wanted to include more multimedia and video content, so I thought you might be interested to know that I recommended this video at the end of my chapter on Critical Thinking, as I think it’s a really useful resource that my students at any level could learn a lot from. If you’re interested in taking a look at my book, it’s the third edition of Academic Writing and Grammar for Students by Alex Osmond. I run a Facebook page for the book and it’s available through Amazon and other booksellers. But I just wanted to let you know that I’ve highlighted this excellent video to my readers!
I think you will need to include ‘real inner states’ as you made the connection to mood and emotions but is this what Ekman meant when he used the term ‘real inner states’?
Interesting and informative video! But the quote in 4:19 is not entirely correct. The original quote from Folse (2004) should say: "...learners who use a bilingual dictionary actually remember vocabulary better than those using a monolingual dictionary". That's a significant difference
Hi, thank you for your comment. I've checked this quotation and you are absolutely correct, it suggests the complete opposite! I'm not sure how we misunderstood or even changed the quote in the first place. Anyway, I've edited the video and completely removed it. TBH I feel Folse's research is slightly out-dated especially with the rise of electronic dictionaries and many teachers promoting dictionary skills in the classroom, so I'm presently looking at more recent research where studies suggest that monolingual dictionaries are more beneficial with upper-int / advanced learners. I have found a couple of more recent research articles below if you're interested? Wajahat, A., Mudassar, M.M. & Faiza, E. (2019). Monolingual dictionaries. International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies. 10.13140/RG.2.2.21741.33762. Aboghunaim, N. (2019). The effect of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries on the foreign language learners' acquisition. International Journal of Applied Linguistics and Translation. 5. 55-57. 10.11648/j.ijalt.20190504.11.
Yes, I love this comment! This is the complete opposite of what this video is doing - it is helping you integrate and learn the tools of this widely-accepted and in-depth discipline. For example, you can't just join a football team if you don't the rules or how to play.
A) We need to take a closer look at the increasing crime rate. B) Uemployment has now become a trouble. C) Vaccine for malaria will soon be available. D) In recent past, the property rate in Japan decreased considerably. Please check my answers.
Thank you for writing some sentences. A) There is a need for a closer investigation into the increasing crime rate. (Try to avoid the subject ‘we’) B) unemployment has now become a serious issue. (Try to avoid the word ‘trouble’) C) ‘A’ vaccine D) is fine.
Mayer (2021) states that the original inner conditions may be clarified thanks to the series of experiments on nonverbal action made by Paul Ekman who came from the University of California. Is my sentence okay? I think it's too long and difficult to understand. This is a great video, thank you very much.
im sure this is helpfull to people who aren't dyslexic. i am so fed up of inaccessible learning content. 1. white backgrounds are like acid for the eyes. its head ache inducing and the black letters on the white look more like petrol on water than words. a quick solution would be black back ground with white letters. or a washed out greeny colour with black letters. 2. where the video ses "paus this and read it". i cant read it! your pur design made sure of that. i cant get a external reading program to read it because its a image of words rather than txt Quick solution just read the dam thing! i couldn't get past step 2. do better ! stop being exclusive of dyslexic people! stob being eletist ! do better cos your falling about 20% of the population!
Thank you for your comment. You're the first comment we've ever had about inaccessible learning content so we're look into it and try to be make our videos more dyslexic friendly. However, the lesson comes with a free worksheet and you could buy the lesson academic-englishuk.com/downloads/introduction-to-summary-writing-1a-general-academic/ and that way you can apply whatever solution you want to access it: change its colour & font or use narrator / text to speech.
I'm currently trying to write the results section of my MSc literature review dissertation and this video has helped to make it so much clearer about what I need to be writing in what section and how. Thank you, absolute legend!
