| dc.description.abstract | Genre analysis has gained so much interest among genre analysts all around the world. Thus, our study aims at investigating the generic structure of the concluding chapters of Didactics Master Dissertation written by students of MMUTO from 2018 to 2020. Furthermore, this study has three objectives. The first one is to clarify and bring to light the different moves and steps followed by Didactics Master Students of the university of Tizi-Ouzou. The second objective is to raise the student’s disciplinary awareness. The last one is to raise student’s generic awareness through explicitly teaching the different generic templates such as Bunton’s (2005) for conclusions. Therefore, to achieve these objectives, Bunton’s (2005) model of conclusions is adopted as a theoretical framework for the analysis. In order to reach the objectives, a move analysisis used to study the moves and steps used in each dissertation conclusion, and the quantitative method is used to report the results. Thus, the findings have presented quantitatively as statistics using the rule of three. The results gathered from this study have revealed that all the five moves are present in the twenty Didactics of Foreign Languages Master Dissertation Conclusions, as for the steps some are fully achieved such as ‘Purpose’, ‘Method and Findings’, and ‘Recommendations for Future Research’. Some others are rarely achieved, as ‘Research Questions and Hypotheses’, ‘Claims’, ‘Implications’. Whereas Reference to Previous Research is totally overlooked. In addition, the results have revealed that the majority of Didactics of Foreign Languages Master Students have opted for an additional step which is ‘Limitations of the Study’. The conclusion to be drawn from the different outcomes shows that Bunton’s (2005) moves are all achieved. As for the steps, it was the student’s choice to include them all or to abandon some because of their lack of disciplinary and generic awareness. The pedagogical implications of this study are primarily concerned with the need to raise student’s generic and disciplinary awareness through an explicit teaching of genre and more specifically, conclusion as a part-genre. | |
