| 520 | |a In academic communities, research article serves to disseminate new knowledge and contribute to the academic or professional success of the writer. However, many students or novice writers are unaware of the important aspect of rhetorical organization in research articles writing. The lack of generic knowledge and skills can create difficulty for them in research articles writing, particularly in the introduction section. This difficulty also occurs in the writing of Islamic academic research article (RA) introductions. This study explores the rhetorical organization of Islamic RA introductions based on Swales' (1990) CARS (Create a Research Space) model. It aims to identify whether the Islamic RA introductions follow or differ from the rhetorical moves of Swales' (1990) CARS model and to identify the differences or variations in the steps used in Islamic RA introductions. 50 Islamic RA introductions were analyzed in terms of the move structure and linguistic features that signal the use of the move. Then, the steps used by the writers to actualize each move were examined in order to identify the preferences of steps or variations of the steps used in Islamic RA introductions. The findings of the study show that most of the article introductions in the study contained all the moves prescribed by the CARS model. However, the number of introductions that strictly followed the CARS Move 1-2-3 structure was relatively small. This suggests that most of the authors of Islamic RA introductions made use of the rhetorical moves proposed by the CARS model, but deviated in terms of their organization. The findings also reveal some differences or variations in the steps used in Islamic RA introductions. | ||
