Responding to the \"increasing mobility of texts,\" MLA now encourages writers to focus on the process of crafting the citation, beginning with the same questions for any source. These changes, then, align with current best practices in the teaching of writing which privilege inquiry and critical thinking over rote recall and rule-following.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Pearson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47574249668759,"sku":"9780134679457","price":12171.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780134679457.webp?v=1774894975","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/envision-writing-and-researching-arguments-mla-update-edition-9780134679457","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
