Abstract

As an introductory research in search of education methods for foreign students on how to write an introduction section, this study compares academic reports written by foreign students with those written by Korean students. First, introduction section structure model presented in Korean academic or thesis papers were examined from the established research. In addition, the text structure of introduction section of foreign and Korea students were compared to the already organized introduction model of the established research. Also, characteristics of discourse were examined by structural elements of an introduction section. As a result, often times, both foreign and Korean students deduced their research topic through presenting research background in the introduction. However, while Korean students concreted their research topic through narrowing down the scope of their research after presenting a broader background, most foreign students outlined their background referring to general facts related to their research topics. Moreover, while Korean students presented their thesis by drawing out problems of the research background and linking with the significance of the study, most foreign students presented their thesis directly form the analysis of status quo without mentioning the significance of the study. From now on, an organized introduction writing course of the curriculum in academic Korean writing will be provided through the text structure of the introduction written by foreign students and the result on the analysis of the characteristics.
