dc.description.abstractConsidering increased availability of online companies offering academic work in a number of languages, we conducted a rapid review of websites which might offer online contract cheating (e.g. “essay mills”) to better understand how prevalent these services are in additional languages and to what extent they are available to K-12 students. Our results included eighteen online sites offering academic work in ten languages: Arabic, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, Mandarin, Portuguese and Welsh. Two thirds of the websites marketed directly to K-12 students, with one offering explicit services to students in grades six and up. A resulting implication is that K-12 second language teachers need to be aware that such online services are available to their students and take steps to enhance academic integrity among young and adolescent learners.
