“…These findings can be called as cyclical moves. These cyclical moves are different from the one suggested by Swales (1990), in which he claimed that the most common moves in the discussion sections of English RAs was a cycle of Move I, Move II, and Move IV, while Arsyad (2013) showed the most common moves consisting of Move I, Move II, and Move V. Thus, Move II can be considered as highly preferred move in the discussion sections of RAs.…”

The study aims to investigate how Indonesian authors write their English and Indonesian research article (RA) discussion sections. There were 7 Indonesian authors who write 1 English research article and 1 Indonesian research article published in national accredited journals. The study executed rhetorical moves designed by Swales (1990) to be used here as the instrument. In general, the findings show that 7 Indonesian authors operate not too different rhetorical patterns of English and Indonesian RA discussion sections viewed from moves occurrences, completeness, and order of the move structures. Nearly all 7 Indonesian authors show 5 moves in the English RA discussion section consisting of statement of the results-(un)expected outcome-reference to previous research-explanation-deduction and hypothesis. They use 6 moves in the Indonesian RA discussion section consisting of statement of the results-(un)expected outcome-reference to previous research-explanation-exemplification-deduction and hypothesis. However, each author has his/her specific move structure seen from the moves order and moves frequency. The specific uses of move structure are explained with examples in the forms of sentences or phrases. Thus, the authors are in the position of having their rhetorical patterns suited the context and communities.Keywords: Indonesian authors, research articles (RA), discussion sections, rhetorical patterns PILIHAN POLA RETORIKA PENULIS INDONESIA DALAM MENULIS BAGIAN PEMBAHASAN ARTIKEL PENELITIAN BERBAHASA INGGRIS DAN BERBAHASA INDONESIA Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti bagaimana penulis Indonesia menulis bagian pembahasan artikel penelitian berbahasa Inggris dan berbahasa Indonesia. Data diperoleh dari 7 penulis Indonesia yang pernah menulis dan mempublikasi 1 artikel penelitian berbahasa Inggris dan 1 artikel penelitian berbahasa Indonesia di jurnal ilmiah terakreditasi nasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pola retorika (moves) yang dikembangkan oleh Swales (1990) sebagai instrumen untuk menganalisis bagian pembahasan artikel penelitian. Secara umum, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketujuh penulis Indonesia memilih pola retorika yang tidak terlalu berbeda pada bagian pembahasan yang berbahasa Inggris dan berbahasa Indonesia, dilihat dari frekuensi kemunculan moves, kelengkapan moves, dan urutan movesnya. Sebagian besar penulis memilih 5 moves pada bagian pembahasan yang berbahasa Inggris, yaitu statement of the results-(un)expected outcome-reference to previous research-explanation-deduction and hypothesis. Bagian pembahasan yang berbahasa Indonesia memiliki 6 moves, yaitu statement of the results-(un)expected outcome-reference to previous research-explanation-exemplification-deduction and hypothesis. Walaupun begitu, setiap penulis memiliki pilihan moves tertentu dari segi urutan moves dan frekuensi kemunculannya. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penulis-penulis Indonesia tersebut memilih pola retorikanya disesuaikan dengan konteks dan komunitas pembaca artikel penelitian di jurnal ilmiah yang mereka pilih.Kata Kunci: Penulis Indonesia, artikel penelitian (RA), bagian pembahasan, pola retorika

“…The findings showed no significant differences regarding the obligatory moves in the introduction section across the two corpora; however, significant differences were found in the discussion section. Arsyad (2013) also examined the genre structure of research article (RA) discussion section written in Indonesian by Indonesian writers aiming at exploring how Indonesian writers discuss their research findings in their RAs. The corpus for this study consisted of 47 selected RAs published mainly in university-based journals in Indonesia from social science and humanity disciplines.…”

“…Fourth, the moves and steps were looked further at how they were ordered. Finally, the common discourse patterns of the discussion section were identified following Arsyad (2013) and Loan and Pramoolsook (2015).…”

“…Structuring this discussion around arguments can be meaningless and tends to fail in justifying the validity of the claims that can make readers difficult to understand the significance of the study. The majority of student writers find it very hard to write the discussion section because it involves complex causal, conditional and purposive argument (Arsyad, 2013); this argument guides the reader from acceptance of the relatively uncontroversial data to acceptance of the writer's knowledge claim (Parkinson, 2011). However, it is widely recognized that the discussion section is difficult to write and troublesome for both native and nonnative speakers (Flowerdew, 1999(Flowerdew, , 2001Jaroongkhongdach et al, 2012;Swales, 1990;Swales & Feak, 2004).…”

“…A number of studies related to discussion section of research articles (RA) have been conducted by several investigators such as Amirian et al, (2008); Khani and Tazik (2010); Arsyad (2013); Amnuai and Wannaruk, 2013;Peacock, 2002;Holmes, 1997 andLoan andPramoolsook, 2015). Amirian et al, (2008), for example, investigated the similarities and differences of discussion sections in applied linguistics research articles (RAs) from the perspective of the genre.…”

The discussion section is considered the most important section of a thesis but also the most difficult to write especially by university students. This study investigated the move-step and rhetorical pattern of discussion section in 20 English Master Theses written by Indonesian EFL postgraduate students. Following the model suggested by Loan and Pramoolsook (2015), this study found that students constructed the discussion section according to their perceived communicative purposes of discussion section. The most noticeable feature of the section is the occurrence of Move 2 (reporting results) and Move 4 (Commenting on results) occurring in all texts making them obligatory moves. In terms of step, interpreting results and referring to other studies in Move 4 are also considered as obligatory steps. The findings of this study are useful particularly for EFL students; that is to facilitate them to better understand the rhetorical structure of thesis discussion section when written in English. ABSTRAKBagian pembahasan dianggap sebagai bagian yang paling penting dalam tesis tetapi juga yang paling sulit ditulis terutama oleh mahasiswa atau penulis baru. Penelitian ini penting untuk menyelidiki pola retorika bagian pembahasan tesis mahasiswa magister bahasa Inggris yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa Indonesia. Mengikuti model yang disarankan oleh Loan and Pramoolsook (2015), penelitian ini menemukan bahwa mahasiswa mengorganisir bagian pembahasan sesuai dengan tujuan komunikatif yang mereka anggap penting. Tujuan komunikatif yang paling menonjol dari bagian ini adalah 'Move' 2 (tahapan melaporkan hasil peneitian) dan 'Move' 4 (tahapan mengomentari hasil penelitian) yang ditemukan di semua teks sehingga dianggap wajib. Dalam hal langkah (Steps), langkah menafsirkan hasil penelitian dan langkah mengacu pada penelitian terdahuluan dalam 'Move' 4 dianggap sebagai langkah wajib. Temuan penelitian ini berguna terutama untuk mahasiswa magister bahasa Inggris, yaitu untuk memudahkan mereka memahami struktur retorika dari bagian pembahasan tesis yang ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris.
