MOVE-STEP STRUCTURE OF THE RESULTS AND DISCUSSION SECTION OF ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING RESEARCH ARTICLES WRITTEN BY CHINESE AND THAI RESEARCHERS

This study explored the move-step structure of Results and Discussion (R&D) section electronic engineering research articles (EERAs) written by Chinese Thai researchers. Two corpora, with each containing 12 R&D sections, were compiled for analysis reference to three frameworks Kanoksilapatham (2005, 2015) Maswana et al. (2015). In addition, variations in terms between two corpora examined. Findings firstly demonstrated a newly proposed framework 3 moves steps. What’s more, all found obligatory, mainly existed steps under move category. present could provide insights into EERA construction novice writers. Moreover, generic that are acceptable within discipline might expand RA genre knowledge both EE researchers practitioners.
