アカデミック・ライティングとムーブ分析 : 日本語研究論文作成指導に焦点を当てて

In the field of research on Japanese academic writing, there is still a limited number of researchers and practitioners who show explicit interest in genre studies, despite its promising potential for educational applications. Against this background, the present paper provides a general introduction to some important concepts of genre analysis, such as “move” or “step,” with a view to their applications in educational settings. We first explain John M. Swales'“Create a Research Space”(CARS) model in genre studies, and then move on to review existing genre-analytic research studies, focusing on Japanese research articles as well as those that attempt to incorporate the findings of genre studies into their teaching in Japanese higher education. Based on the narrative review, some possible future directions are suggested.
