This paper compares the rhetorical structure of L1 and L2 research article introductions in the field of Applied Linguistics through both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings indicate that L2 writers showed a strong tendency to avoid taking a critical stance with the problems or limitations arising from the previous research, while a majority of L1 counterparts present critical evaluations and claims towards previous studies. Accordingly, L2 introductions tend to show a strong preference for discussing educational situations or problems in establishing a niche. Moreover, L1 displayed a higher degree of explicitness than L2 in occupying the research niche. Adding to the L2 writers’ lack of genre-specific awareness, culture-related conventions might also affect L2 writers’ preference for affective rhetorical strategies across the three moves. Such knowledge could provide the basis for explicit strategies that Korean L2 writers might use to comprehend and produce effective English academic writing.
Abstract
This paper compares the rhetorical structure of L1 and L2 research article introductions in the field of Applied Linguistics through both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The findings indicate that L2 writers showed a strong tendency to avoid taking a critical stance with the problems or limitations arising from the previous research, while a majority of L1 counterparts present critical evaluations and claims towards previous studies. Accordingly, L2 introductions tend to show a strong preference for discussing educational situations or problems in establishing a niche. Moreover, L1 displayed a higher degree of explicitness than L2 in occupying the research niche. Adding to the L2 writers’ lack of genre-specific awareness, culture-related conventions might also affect L2 writers’ preference for affective rhetorical strategies across the three moves. Such knowledge could provide the basis for explicit strategies that Korean L2 writers might use to comprehend and produce effective English academic writing.
