| description | The ability to write a successful conference abstract seems to be one barrier preventing new researchers from
disseminating their research work in their particular disciplinary community. However, very few studies on how
conference abstracts are structured have been conducted in order to help such novice researchers. This study,
thus, aims to examine the rhetorical structure of conference abstracts in two TESOL conferences in Asia with
the purpose of informing a particular group of new researchers in Asian settings about the actual practice of
writing this particular genre. The findings from the open-ended questions and the move analysis of 137
abstracts indicated that there was a mismatch between these potential conference abstract writers’ knowledge
and the actual composition of these conference abstracts. Besides the rhetorical structures of conference
abstracts, this paper also provided some pedagogical suggestions on dealing with this mismatch. |
