“…Another way of using it is to include the listeners in the research, making them part of the research and conveying a sense of engagement. Apparently, like the speakers in conference presentations (Carter-Thomas & Rowley-Jolivet, 2003;Rowley-Jolivet & Carter-Thomas, 2005), the researchers in the hard disciplines engage their audience much more boldly in the audioslides than in the RAs. The reasons why they use the second person pronouns to address their audience may result from the fact that both conference and audioslide presenters clearly know that there must be listeners or an audience sitting in front of them, no matter whether they are physically present or not, and thus establishing a rapport or interaction in a friendly tone seems natural.…”

Due to the competitiveness in academic settings and the convenience of technological platforms, several genres have been designed to promote research. The current research studies audioslide presentations, one of the novel academic appendant genres to promote its host genre, research articles. The corpus includes the spoken transcripts collected from oral presentations in the hard science domains and written by expert scholars. We aimed to identify the structure of the presentations, generate keywords used in the talks with reference to an academic spoken English corpus and a daily English speech corpus, and examine how authorial stance and audience engagement are shown in the presentations by employing personal pronouns. The results demonstrate that the speakers tend to highlight the existence of knowledge gaps and the research designs of the investigations, rather than emphasising the findings. Keywords are also used slightly differently compared to different reference corpora, namely, BNC and BASE. In addition, projecting self-presence is much more prevalent than engaging the audience, and the use of the personal pronouns was found to differ from the assumed knowledge in written texts. This poses the question of whether a promotional text as an appendant genre should be treated as its host genre with an implicit promotional voice.

“…Autores como Ventola (2002), Carter Thomas y Rowley-Jolivet (2003, 2008 2011), en lengua española, han contribuido con sus estudios abordando diferentes aspectos de la estructura de la exposición oral de la conferencia como género oral formal; sin embargo, son raras los estudios contrastivos del discurso oral formal de este género en diferentes lenguas y más aún en lenguas que poseen un sistema lingüístico tan cercano como el español y el italiano.…”

The aim of this article is to present an analysis of contrastive rhetoric with the principal objective of describing macrostructural idiosyncratic characteristics of the lecture as monological oral discourse genre. This is an exploratory study conducted by triangulation of empirical data using qualitative and quantitative research methodologies from an oral corpus of lectures in Spanish and Italian. After comparing the strategies found in the samples, the results reveal that the macrostructure of the conferences analyzed share many characteristics, but also show some differences in these two related languages. In practically every lecture the four sections of the primary macrostructure are respected, however, there are some differences in the strategies used in the secondary macrostructure in both groups.

“…Academic oral presentation (henceforth AOP) is an important academic discourse for undergraduates and has been explored by several researchers. Unlike academic writing that has been greatly explored, less attention has been given to AOP (Barrett & Liu, 2016;Yang, 2014, Bu 2014Morita, 2004, Carter-Thomas & Rowley-Jolivet, 2003Ventola et al, 2002;Zappa-Hollman, 2001). This is because of the dialogic nature of the oral presentation and difficulty in collecting, transcribing and analysing large amounts of recorded data.…”

Conducting Academic Oral Presentation (AOP) is an endeavour for undergraduates although it is a key academic genre for undergraduates. Despite its importance, there remains a paucity of studies on this oral genre in the Malaysian context as shown in the body of the literature. This paper provides a critical review of the literature on AOP and discusses the advantages and limitations of the previous studies to date on this oral genre. The literature shows most studies that adopt the genre analysis approach typically analyse only one section of the oral genre. These studies have not examined the AOP rhetorical structure in totality. Moreover, studies on multimodal analysis of AOP comparing the verbal and non-verbal modes are limited. Only few studies have attempted to examine the juxtaposition of the moves, linguistic elements and the visuals. AOPs are ubiquitous for the students across various courses and disciplines in the university and past studies have also compared the differences between disciplines (Zappa-Hollman, 2007;Morita, 2000).Thus, realizing the importance of AOP, clearly there is a necessity to conduct more research in this area in the local context.
