Or
In other words, will I still be providing an accurate in-text
citation if I include shortened titles of the videos?
(The full video titles are still being provided in the works
cited list) For example, in the early censored poem Ode (1920)
there are the Children singing in the orchard / (Io Hymen,
Hymenaee) / Succuba eviscerate (Poems, 280) who reappear in New
Hampshire (144). Further, there are the children in the foliage
in Burnt Norton (184) who resurface in the apple-tree in Little
Gidding (209). Works Cited entry:

Consciousness-raising for Pre-service Second Language Teachers."

Their training techniques are based on the research described
above indicating that comprehension improves with exposure to
non-native speech. Derwing and others conducted their training
with students preparing to be social workers, but note that other
professionals who work with non-native speakers could benefit
from a similar program (258). I dont quite understand when I am
quoting from a short story, The Lottery, how I would quote what
the character says and correctly use in-text citations for a
theme essay I am writing. Please help?
Thanks so much Please I ned to know with examples if possible how
to punctuate in-text citation in quotations whose sentence has
not finished with a period but using specifiacally (,) and (;)?
Do I put these punctuation marks inside the quotation continuing
the sentence or out sid the quotation? However, do I need to
write out the whole citation each time? or after the first time,
i can just write the duration? I am only using one source in this
piece of writing, and it is this short film. A parenthetical
citation in the text comes outside any quotation marks but before
a following period or other punctuation mark. In these cases the
period appears outside the quotation marks, whereas if there were
no citation it would appear inside them.
Mla citing in paper - If the source title or organization name is longer than four words, shorten it to the first word or phrase in the in-text citation, excluding any articles (a, an, and the). The shortened title or organization name should begin with the word the source is alphabetized by in the Works Cited.

MLA doesn't provide any specific guidance on what order to place citations in in these circumstances, so you're free to make your own decisions. One way to order them might be by year of publication; another could be alphabetically. Choose whatever makes sense to you. I was wondering how would I include in-text citations if the quote is in the middle of the sentence. Would I place it right after the quotation or put it at the end of the sentence? It is a short story and I am not sure how to include the parenthesis with the author's last name. Cite quotes from your interviewee the same as you would any other source: mention their last name either in the sentence where the quote is introduced, or in parentheses after the quote. You should also list the interview in the Words Cited see our guide to citing interviews in MLA for more information. I hope that helps! A few researchers in the linguistics field have developed training programs designed to improve native speakers' ability to understand accented speech (Derwing et al. 246; Thomas 15).
MLA actually suggests using the word "and" between two works by the same author cited in the same set of parentheses, and using commas if there are three or more works. So for example, (Woolf, Room and To the Lighthouse) or (Woolf, Room, To the Lighthouse, and "Modern Fiction"). Whether you need to keep including the title depends on whether it's clear from the context what you're citing. If you cite the same source repeatedly in a paragraph without citing anything else in between, you can just put the timestamps in citations after the first one. If you go a paragraph or two without citing the source and then cite it again, or if you've cited something else in between, include the title again to avoid ambiguity. Note: For quotations that are more than four lines of prose or three lines of verse, display quotations as an indented block of text (one inch from left margin) and omit quotation marks. Place your parenthetical citation at the end of the block of text, after the final punctuation mark. Place the parenthetical citation directly after the relevant quote or paraphrase, and before the period or other punctuation mark (except withblock quotes, where the citation comes after the period).
Yep, your idea is correct here; when a long title appears in an in-text citation, it should be shortened to the initial noun phrase, omitting any articles (e.g. "a," "the"). So for example, "The Basics of APA In-Text Citations" would become just "Basics." Some source types, such as books and journal articles, may contain footnotes (or endnotes) with additional information. MLA style provides guidelines for referring to information from a note in an in-text citation: It's OK in MLA style if your in-text citation doesn't appear at the end of the sentence. They specify only that it should appear somewhere where it doesn't disrupt the flow of your argumentso it's best if it appears before some kind of punctuation, e.g. a comma or semicolon. So as long as your quotation is followed by some kind of punctuation, the citation can appear directly after it, before the punctuation mark. For example: In addition to awareness-raising, practicing listening to accented speech has been shown to improve listening comprehension. This article recommends developing listening training programs for library faculty and staff, based on research from the linguistics and language teaching fields. Even brief exposure to accented speech can help listeners improve their comprehension, thereby improving the level of service to international patrons. (O'Malley 19)
