Previous research on American higher education has suggested that plagiarism is three times as common among non-native speakers of English than among students for whom English is the native language. For the present study, 80 professors of English were surveyed to discover their attitudes toward ESL plagiarism: its extent, causes, and remedies. While 78% of respondents acknowledged that cultural and linguistic factors contribute to the relatively higher frequency of plagiarism among second-language writers, 100% found that those students should be held to the same anti-plagiarism standards as first-language writers. In addition, 100% considered that second-language writers could learn how to avoid plagiarism, which finding points to a need for further instruction in this area in American colleges and universities.
