B. Write quotations from the following sources. (25 points)

1. Paraphrase

(Barnhard-Sarah & El-Dinar (2010) explained for strategies instruction to have an impact,
students must first believe they are capable of more independent learners. They must also
believe that what causes their success or failure is the use of effective or ineffective
strategies, not luck or innate ability alone. Finally, students must be willing to take
reponsibility for their learning. Teachers need to nurture and encourage these beliefs and
may need to provide extensive support so students can experience the success that comes by
willingly using effective strategies (35).

2. Short Quotation

Research helps educators understand problems or issues through the accumulation of

knowledge. It can assists educators in improving practice. (W. Creswell, John, 2018, p. 15)

3. Secondary Quotation

There is a fundamental difference between a philosophy of language teaching at the level of

theory and principles and a set of procedures derived from them. (Richards, Jack C & S.
Rogers, 1986, p. 15, as cited by Hadley, Alice Omaggio, 2002, p. 91)
