Student Guide to AI Literacy

As use of generative AI emerges in educational contexts, it is critical that students learn how to become informed users of it as well as understand its limitations. Our Student Guide for AI Literacy offers criteria for assessing your own AI literacy. Want to know more about AI literacy? You can also read the latest working paper from the MLA-CCCC Joint Task Force on Writing and AI and join our webinar on 20 November at 2:00 p.m. EST.

Latina/o, Latinx, and Latine

There are several terms that people use to identify as Latin American. An MLA editor offers guidance on the history and meanings of these terms.

Google AI Overviews

When searching for information online, you should avoid using Google’s AI Overviews as a source. An MLA editor explains how you should approach these summaries.

Bear with Me: Bear versus Bare

Since bear and bare are homophones, it’s easy to mix up the two words. An MLA editor’s guide will help you keep their meanings straight.

Citing Images

How you cite an image depends on whether you saw the image in person, online, or in a print publication. Get your citations right with the help of the MLA editors.

Capitalization and Quotations

Whether you capitalize the first letter of a quotation depends on how the quotation fits into your sentence. The MLA editors provide some examples.

How to Cite Quotations from Different Pages

When citing quotations from different pages of a work, you should refrain from using a page range. The MLA editors demonstrate their approach.

Citing Anonymously Translated Poems

If a translator’s name is not provided in the source, you should adjust your works-cited-list entry accordingly, the MLA editors explain.
