Everybody can gain knowledge and skill, its not exception to one person. It is a ceaseless action, which can be learned daily with the help of other writers that they have worked. It is necessary that if you learn with the help of other's source of knowledge / material then you are bound to tell the reader the source of your information / study. If writer borrows some knowledge from other source/writer and do not reveal that then it is called plagiarism and it is unethical.

For these papers Modern Language Association adopted different styles like APA, MLA. MLA stands for Modern Language Association. The students as well as writers of the said language and art curriculum adopt this style of referencing. The students who are following these curricula should consult the material related information with such styles that it can be accepted. They should study concerned material for producing good quality. It depends upon the student's common sense that he follows that style, which is suitable for his term paper; teacher will not strictly guide his in this regard. If any student wishes to start research in any curriculum, first of all he should seek the guidance of the style of writing that he should use and will be useful for him as well. An academic writer has to quote the source of his work and has to complete the work with MLA style placed in the brackets. Apart from title on the first page as well as preamble, the last page of the book contains the name of the author as well as source of the information he took. If information is quoted as it is without any change or alteration, the same is required to be quoted with in inverted comas. This type of quotation will warrant that it has been borrowed from the mentioned source. It also differentiates the written material from the writer's own material. Sometime some materials of the famous writers are so important that have to be mentioned without any changes. Such information required to be mentioned with page numbers in the brackets. Usually such information is mentioned in the paper to make your work more understandable and authentic.

For this reason MLA research documents have to be examined carefully. For instance, if a writer wishes to quote the information of more than one author, each author should be mentioned separately and prominently. One work of the author should not be mixed with other's work, as the same group of writers/authors has done numerous works. All such quoted information should be featured in different pieces.

MLA term paper writing is a vast filed, it cannot be contented in a limited article. A number of books deal with the MLA research style in detail. Keeping in view the abundance of available books covering a vast area, a student may not present his excuse that he could not find a better guidance material for preparing a good paper. These books are easily available in the libraries. Such material works as a handbook for the student and provides comprehensive information related with the term paper. MLA style is a difficult style, and cannot be referenced by heart; therefore, the writer has to go through with his handbook many times for perfection and ensuring good quality.
