Abstract

The introduction section of a thesis or research paper serves as a critical foundation, providing readers with a clear understanding of its objectives, context, and significance. This study aims to analyze the rhetorical structure of introduction sections in undergraduate theses to identify patterns and variations in their construction. Specifically, the research investigates the use of Swales’ revised Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model in 10 undergraduate theses from two universities. This qualitative analysis uses a dataset randomly selected from a larger corpus, combining Swales’ CARS model with frequency analysis of moves and steps, as described by Kanoksilapatham (2005). The findings reveal consistent application of Moves 1, 2, and 3, although the frequency of specific steps varies. Moreover, all writers demonstrated appropriate sequencing of moves and steps, aligning with the CARS framework. These results aim to provide valuable insights for academic writing pedagogy, particularly for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors, in helping students develop effective thesis introductions. Additionally, the findings contribute to enhancing EFL students' skills in writing well-structured introductions and increasing researchers’ competency in crafting coherent and impactful introductory sections.

Abstract

The abstract of the thesis is the initial segment that researchers scrutinize to ascertain its pertinence to their interests. Researchers must possess an inherent comprehension of the section's rhetorical progression, structure, and arrangement. This study investigates the genre of thesis abstract sections produced by undergraduate students from Aceh who are majoring in English Education. The writers are interested in examining the writing style of Acehnese undergraduate students when composing their thesis abstracts. The dataset utilized in this study comprises 50 specifically chosen thesis abstracts from 5 universities in Aceh. The data analysis utilizes Hyland's five-move structural model of the abstract section, as well as the status of the motions as described by Huttner. The findings indicate that Hyland's five-move structure model is a useful tool for examining the move structure of the abstract section. Furthermore, there is no notable variation in the move structures across all datasets. The moves that occur most frequently are move 2, move 3, and move 4, making them the mandatory moves. The results could assist English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors in instructing and preparing their students to write the abstract section. Additionally, it could enhance the effectiveness of EFL students in composing well-organized abstract sections and improve researchers' understanding and sensitivity while crafting their thesis abstracts
