| dc.description.abstract | This paper reports on the results of a move analysis as proposed in the CARS model by Swales
(1990) on 30 Mechatronic engineering introduction sections of research articles. First, a corpus
was systematically compiled from the journal of IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics to
ensure that it represents the focused discipline. Then, coding reliability analysis was conducted
to demonstrate that, given a set of coding protocols and systematic training and practice, two
individuals could agree upon move boundaries. Finally, move analysis of the corpus was
conducted. Based on the findings of the analysis it is found that the introduction sections of
Mechatronic RA’s do not conform to the CARS framework and there are variations in terms of
the Move structure. This study is useful particularly to native and non-native ESP learners and
teachers not only allowing them to better understand published research articles for pedagogical
purposes but also facilitating the process of writing research articles for publication. | en_US |
