The research aims at investing the second – year students’ mistakes when they integrate information from articles into their essay writing from two aspects: (1) the students’ perception; (2) the judgment of their essays. In order to achieve the established targets, a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was adopted for data collection and analysis. Specifically researchers utilized three data collections instruments including questionnaire, interview and writing collection. Then the data from each tool was analyzed with different methods what were suitable with the type of data. After all, conclusions drawn from the research were that the students still struggled with their integration. From the students’ viewpoints, their biggest problem was the ineffective paraphrasing of the information from the original sources, which belonged to the language aspect. They also claimed to provide inadequate explanation for the information they used in their writing. From their essays, format appeared to be the trouble of the majority of the students because of their carelessness and the unclear instruction from the teachers. Referring to students’ belief, the students’ awareness about their mistakes was quite good in term of the content but, on the contrary, the students were still ignorant of the required format of integrated information.
