 Hello, in this video you will learn how to reference information taken from a book in APA format. You will need to identify the following information, the author's first name, the author's family name, the year of publication, the title of the book, the city where the book is published and the name of the publisher. You should be able to find this information on the cover and the first few pages of the book. Imagine that you found a book called English Language Learning in Asia, written by Peter Jones in 2004, published in Singapore by Blackwell. Arrange the information in the following order. The name of the author or author's, a comma, author's initial or initials, a full stop followed by the year of publication in brackets, a full stop, the title of the book in italics, the location of publisher, usually a city, a colon, the name of publisher and finally a full stop. In this case it would look something like this. Jones, comma, P, full stop, 2004 in brackets, English language learning in Asia, full stop, Singapore, colon, Blackwell, full stop. Notice that only the first letter, acronyms and proper nouns like place names need to be capitalised. Don't forget to indent the second and subsequent lines of reference by five spaces.
