Has anyone heard of, or experienced, cases where overseas students with
poor English language skills use professional translation services, or
native English-speaking friends/peers, to help them write essays and
dissertations?
If so I'd really welcome your comments for an article I'm working on -- on
or off list. ASAP please.
Also, is this something that should be treated as plagiarism? If the
language of instruction is English, and the degree itself is a British
qualification, then using a translator could be considered not to be all
the students' own work?
