“…Identifying moves through particular linguistic features are pertinent to a bottom-up approach, while the realisation of moves by content is a top-down approach. However, the top-down approach in many previous studies, including the work by Swales (1990) was criticised for its subjectivity in evaluation. As a result, it led to a lack of explicit categorization rules (Lores 2004).…”

“…Moreover, Swales (1990) also highlights the format of the abstract as having Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion (IMRD) structure which is similar to that of the main article. Given the diverse attention to the state of research in this area, the researchers of this study embarked on an investigation to examine the structures of the abstracts as to the extent they mirror the IMRD structure and the kind of variations they may follow in terms of their development.…”

“…Davies (1988) [7] writes an outline based on the genre to enable students to identify and analyze a variety of genres to read or write in their course study. Swales (1990) [8] puts forward a number of "genre writing" class activities and practice forms. Flowerdew (1993) [9] combines genre teaching and process teaching methods to teach students to write various genres.…”

“…Zein's hesitations and inconsistency in line (1) (that….this, …this….this, ….this or that) and his use of indicators in his address terms (this guy, this or that) shows his being driven into his emotions, getting angry, using demeaning language, and reacting to what the guy had said about teachers. Some other features in this excerpt are: talking about past and expired things, long and elaborated language (giving the concrete details of what has been said or done), dramatization, i.e., talking both his own and others' turns in direct speech, angry tone of voice, a cyclical schematic "Move Structure" (Swales, 1981(Swales, , 1990Kuhi, 2008) (in all the school teachers' talks) which starts with Move 1 (posing a social problem, here the teachers' status), leads to arguments about the causes of this problem in Move 2, then Move 3, giving some narratives and examples to prove this. This move structure is common both in overall school talk and in narratives.…”

Abstract-The purpose of this study is to uncover the cultural beliefs and values that underlie the public school and private language institute teachers' representations of their professional identities and figured worlds, through examining discourses that manifested themselves in their teacher-room talks with their peer teachers. The data was collected by means of video recordings of the teachers' natural and face-to-face interactions. Using a multi-layered approach, we analyzed the two groups' speech patterns: 'I-statements', 'narrative lines', 'act sequences and schematic move structures', 'tenses of verbs', 'pronouns', 'hedging vs. boosters', 'topics of talks', 'in-group insults', 'teasing humor', 'mentoring talk', 'professional humor', 'phatic communion and social talk vs. core business talk', 'everyday vs. technical vocabularies', 'laughter', 'lexical density', 'pacing of talk', 'repetition and dramatization', 'the amount of English language used and code-switching' and nonlinguistic factors like 'tools', 'objects', and 'bodies' as identity-markers used by the two groups. The findings revealed that speech patterns of the two groups of teachers differed dramatically. The most pervasive macrospeech patterns among public school teachers were 'narratives' and 'social dispute arguments' and that of English language institute teachers were 'work and professional talk with code-switching from Turkish to English' and 'mentoring and viewpoint-giving arguments'. The school teachers' narratives, and social phatic communion talk, in the form of mainly gossip, depicted a 'master dispute figured-world' against authorities, whereas mentoring, viewpoint-giving arguments, work negotiation, and work experiences told by institute teachers were a sign of their 'master work and success figured-world'.
