MLA Format

Dear Students,

Under the heading "Dr. F's Handy Documents" in the right-hand margin of the blog, you will find a link to the MLA Format handout that you should refer to when formatting any English paper while you are at Foothill. It is also a good format to use if you ever write an essay in your foreign language classes, since the MLA standard is used for academic writing in all fields of language and literature. (Note that MLA stands for Modern Languages Association.)

This format will come in handy when you are in college, too!

See you soon,

Dr. Fleming
