- Abstract
In the area of academic writing, citation has a major portion as it has to be included in the writing. Citation plays some roles, which enables writers to attribute content to other sources and allows writers to convey reported research activity and evaluation of the messages from the cited ideas. In citing, writers need to use reporting verb as a tool to attribute to the writer of the ideas. There are many variation of reporting verbs. Each of the variation plays different roles in attributing to the original writer. Thus, good knowledge about reporting verbs is closely related to the competence of the writers in producing good quality writing. However, the proper use of reporting verbs seems to get limited attention by writers, especially among non-native English writers. This library research will provide us more options about reporting verbs, especially Hyland’s new framework of reporting verbs as well as the relationship of the reporting verbs used with the professional competence of English teachers, especially in the area of academic writing.
