| dc.description.abstract | The current study is a genre analysis that investigates dissertation introductions in order to reveal the different rhetorical moves deployed by master students in the Department of English at MMUTO. More specifically, it analyzes a corpus of nine master dissertation introductions written in the discipline of Didactics between 2018 and 2020. This study is based on Samraj‟s revised version of CARS ( Create a Research Space) which is developed for master dissertation introductions (2008) and relies on Becher and Biglan Typology of academic disciplines (1989). Besides, the quantitative data obtained after coding the DI Introductions, the study also relies on a questionnaire distributed to 45 students enrolled in master in Didactics. The results reveal that the generic structure of the introductions is different at the level of step1-a of the first rhetorical move, namely „Claiming Centrality‟ by stating the Importance of the Research in the Real World, with the majority of the introductions overlooking this highly important strategy for the discipline of Didactics. The pedagogical implications of this study relate mainly to the need of raising students‟ generic and disciplinary awareness through an explicit teaching of genre, and more precisely introduction as a part-genre. | en |
