Description
Second-language learners often need explicit routines for reinforcing rules for citing sources, crediting images, and being transparent about AI support. This session shows how to build a class community where “evidence and attribution” are normal, shared habits. Participants will leave with ideas to develop their norm-building protocols, a simple citation and link checklist, Creative Commons examples, and easy ways to integrate these things into speaking and performance tasks that strengthen credibility while building language competencies.

Abstract
Second-language learners often need explicit routines to understand what “credible work” looks like in everyday classroom tasks. When expectations for citing sources, crediting images, and disclosing AI support are not taught as daily habits, students may rely on copying, incomplete links, or uncredited visuals, even when they are trying to do the right thing. This session treats digital citizenship as a community practice that supports language learning by making evidence and attribution part of normal classroom communication.
This practice-oriented session models a simple routine designed for ELL classrooms: (1) co-creating class norms with all teachers using short, concrete samples for the students (image use, links, and AI support), (2) using a citation-and-link checklist as a part of the rubric for the assignment beforehand, and (3) maintaining consistency throughout the year through the grading amongst all teachers and on the rubrics. The routine includes clear, student-friendly examples of Creative Commons use and quick credit formats that work for slides, posters, and other presentations.
Participants will leave with ideas to build their own norm-building protocol, examples of rubrics, an understanding of how to use samples in class for student understanding, and easy ways to integrate ethical source use into speaking and performance tasks while strengthening learner credibility and language competency.
