“…In this regard, a particular framework (Yasin & Qamariah, 2014) should be provided for writing each part of the thesis or research projects that "every writing situation requires writers to perform in unique ways, to dance without knowing all the steps, to improvise their own" (Devitt, 2015, p. 8), That is, the research findings reveal both competence and performance in genre analysis that includes both rhetoric and linguistics, for the various disciplines using CARS model, that genres are grounded in the shared communicative purposes and realized in particular linguistic utterances.…”

“…Crookes (1990) states that 'genres' which make heavy use of formulaic expressions are better suited for analysis. Yasin and Qamariah (2014) compared the rhetorical structure of three research article (RA) introductions written by professional writers with seven RAs written by postgraduate students majoring in English Language Education at Syiah Kuala University. The aim of this study was to examine the application of the Swales' (2004) model.…”

This paper reports the results of a study that investigated the structure of the Problem Statement (PS) section, following Swales’ (1990) Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model as the first objective. Move analysis was used to analyze the rhetorical moves of the PS sections of the research projects. The second objective was the identification of the specific types of linguistic features associated with each move and step based on Pho’s (2013) classification. Following Pho (2013), the linguistic features as important signals of moves were identified. For this purpose, 30 research projects written by Iranian master’s students were purposively selected. The findings showed that the obligatory moves were Moves 1 ‘Establishing a Territory’ and 2 ‘Establishing a Niche’. All moves and steps were identified linguistically although their sequence and arrangement were not the same as what was anticipated by the model. Although the cyclic and embedded moves were defined in the rhetorical structure of the PSs, most of them were anomalous or ill-structured. The study has theoretical contributions, the most significant one of which is that the CARS model is applicable to define and analyze the rhetorical structure of the PS section.

This discourse study examines the rhetorical structures of RA introductions in Sinta 1 indexed ELT journals by implementing the Swales’ (2004) CARS model as the framework for analysis. A corpus consisting of 36 RA introductions was randomly collected from three SINTA 1 indexed journals, namely TEFLIN, SiELE, and IJAL, in 2019-2021. The analysis was done by using top-down analysis. The findings of the study indicated that all three moves, i.e., Move 1 Establishing a territory, Move 2 Establishing a niche, and Move 3 Presenting the present work, appeared in the introduction section across three journals. Although not all authors presented the moves and steps in appropriate sequences, the structures of moves and steps found in the corpus data were based on Swales’ CARS model. It is highly suggested that EFL students follow the Swales’ CARS model in writing an introduction.
