Abstract

Genre studies allow researchers to observe the repeated communicative functions and their linguistic components in different genres (Brett, 1994). Writing the introduction section is a tough and burdensome task for both native and non-native speakers (Swales Feak, 1994). Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the generic organization of English research article introductions written by native English and Iranian non-native speakers of English. A total of 160 published articles were selected from established journals in Applied Linguistics. Following Swales’ (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model, the researchers analyzed the articles for their specific generic patterns. Findings displayed that native English writers used significantly more strategies than Iranian non-native speakers of English, yielding richer texts. The findings of the present study contribute to the current knowledge of cross-cultural studies in academic writing to non-native English speakers in general and to non-native English novice writers in particular. Built on Swales’ (2004) CARS model, the study describes how introduction sections are developed in English by native and non-native speakers, offering insights into ESP/EAP writing pedagogy.

Abstract

The current research aimed to explore the rhetorical moves in abstracts of English and Persian Mining Engineering research articles. For this purpose, 60 abstracts written by native speakers of English and Persian were analyzed based on Hyland’s (2000) model of five rhetorical moves to explore the pattern of moves in abstract sections. Findings suggested that there were four conventional moves in abstracts in the English corpus (PMPrC), while there were five conventional moves in abstracts in the Persian corpus (IPMPrC). Results of statistical analyses show that there was a statistically significant difference in Purpose move in the two dataset. However, there were not any significance differences in the use of other moves such as product, method, and conclusion moves in the corpora. Keyword: Abstract, Genre, Move pattern, Mining Engineering

Abstract

Abstract The present study is an attempt to investigate the relationship between language proficiency and ‎pragmatic comprehension of the refusal speech act among Iranian EFL learners. To this end, the ‎Oxford Placement Test (OPT), as a proficiency test, was given to participants and they were ‎divided into high and low level groups based on their proficiency scores. Then, a multiple-choice ‎discourse completion task (MDCT) was given to both groups to elicit their pragmatic ‎knowledge. The findings indicated that there was no significant ‎difference between high and low groups in pragmatic comprehension. In other words, language ‎proficiency was not the determining factor in the degree of pragmatic comprehension. Moreover, the results indicated that there was no correlation between learners’ language proficiency and pragmatic knowledge. Therefore, ‎in order to have pragmatically competent EFL learners, they should be taught pragmatic functions and language norms of the target language in the language classrooms. Keywords: Pragmatic comprehension, Speech acts, Refusal speech act, MDCT.
