TI  - Move analysis of research article abstracts in the field of ELT: A comparative study
AB  - This study aims to make a comparison between research article abstracts written by two groups in the field ofEnglish Language Teaching (ELT) by Turkish scholars and non-Turkish scholars working in Anglophonecountries to find the rhetorical structure they employ in their abstracts. To achieve this purpose, 390 research articleabstracts, 195 abstracts from each group, were analyzed. To analyze the abstracts, Hyland’s (2000) model withfive moves was employed. In addition to the descriptive statistics, the Chi-Square test was used to find whetherthere are any statistical differences between two writer groups in terms of move use. Results showed that there areno statistically significant differences in terms of moves between the two groups. However, three moves (purpose,method, product) frequently occurred in Turkish writers’ abstracts while foreign writers include four moves(purpose, method, product, conclusion) more commonly in their abstracts. These findings have some implicationsfor researchers, particularly for developing teaching materials for academic writing courses that can guide scholarsto successfully participate in the international discourse community.© 2020 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS.
