Examples:
Hawthorne and Grimes (2002)
claim that foreign-language instruction results in lower student
achievement.
Several studies have
investigated student achievement in multilingual instruction
(Hawthorne & Grimes, 2002; Pimminger, 1998; Wanabe, Tanayaki, &
Temishi, 2000).
One study concluded that
content learning through the foreign language “led to a 5%
improvement in achievement on content tests” (Lefrançois, 2001:
171).
Sources with two authors require mention of both
authors each time they are referenced. For sources with three or
more authors, give all the authors on first mention, e.g. Joh,
Goldstone, El-Almaty, and Henri, 1999. On subsequent mention, give
only the first author followed by “et al.”: Joh et al., 1999.
