Student plagiarism is a pervasive issue at all levels of study in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) around the world. Plagiarism is considered as a cultural phenomenon and students from certain cultures are often stereotyped as ‘persistent plagiarists'. This chapter reports the findings of a research project and examines the issues of academic dishonesty reported by Chinese students in New Zealand universities. Four lecturers and six university graduates participated in the interviews and the focus group discussion. The study has identified seven forms of disguised plagiarism deriving from four interrelated variables: inadequate language proficiency, lack of discipline knowledge and conventions, issues of assessment, and situational variables. The university is morally responsible to teach the students the concept of Academic Integrity (AI) and plagiarism, discipline conventions and rules of games in academic writing, and develop their language, writing, and research skills to help them avoid the traps of plagiarism.

This study aims to describe the grammatical errors in an analysis of a Malay language course assignment. It focuses on several local students who enrolled on MPU3312 Malay Language course at a public university in Semester 1, 2020/2021 session. The study was conducted on 250 students, using scripts from their group assignment, namely Text Error Analysis Task (Tugasan Analisis Kesalahan Teks). A total of 25 samples of student assignments were analysed and described using Corder Error Analysis Theory. Findings show that students committed 79 types of grammatical errors. Errors in the orthographic (ortografi) aspect are the most common. Preposition (Kata sendi nama) errors and redundancy (kelewahan) were also distinctively found in the writing samples. There were also other types of grammatical errors identified, such as copular verb (kata pemeri), "ianya", abbreviation (singkatan), affix (imbuhan), and word choice (pemilihan kata). The study has brought an understanding of the nature of typical grammatical errors in Malay language writing at the university.
