Abstract
The present study investigates the use of citations by Algerian EFL graduates at Mohammed Seddik Benyahia University, Jijel/Algeria. To this end, ‘‘the introduction’’, ‘‘the literature review’’, ‘‘the methodology’’ and ‘‘the discussion’s’’ sections of 8 Master EFL dissertations were analyzed. Therefore, by adopting Swales’ (1990) categorization of citations, the employed citation patterns were analyzed and categorized into two main types namely: ‘integral and non-integral’. The former was in turn divided into two sub-categories viz: ‘integral-verb’ and ‘integral-naming’. The analysis of the data at the researchers’ disposal revealed that the respondents used more non-integral citations than integral ones. Moreover, integral-verb citations were used more frequently than integral-naming. Hence, the researchers concluded that Algerian EFL graduates lack some writing and research skills that are prerequisite to use all citations types effectively. These findings will help emerging non-native writers of English to be aware of the proper way of using citation practices to write more effectively and persuasively. Also, an important implication of this study is to have a training course on research methodology to enhance the students’ skills in the use of integral and non-integral citations in academic writing.
