dc.description.abstractResults and Discussion chapters in thesis writing often present challenges, especially for non-native English writers. This study explores genre analysis, a significant area in academic research, focusing on the manifestation of rhetorical moves within the Results and Discussion sections of MA dissertations authored by students specializing in language and communication within the Department of English at MMUTO. The primary objective is to analyze these moves in the MA dissertations' results and discussions. The second aim is to explore possible differences in the writing of the authors of the analyzed master dissertations. Ten Master 2 dissertations were analyzed using Chen and Kuo's (2012) framework, employing a mixed-methods approach for data collection and analysis. Qualitative content analysis was chosen as the methodology, enabling the identification of terms and sentences expressing rhetorical moves within these sections. The findings revealed inconsistencies in adherence to the organizational framework, with some moves displaced, others omitted, and two additional moves identified in certain Results and Discussion sections. This study emphasizes the need for a flexible understanding of organizing Results and Discussion chapters, acknowledging the varied approaches students may employ in crafting these sections.
