Swales Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) Model?

With regard to Swales’ (1990) Create-a-Research-Space (CARS) model, ESP genre is defined as move and step as an analytical tool to examine textual sequence for two levels of the analysis: microstructure (lexico-grammatical features) and macrostructure (rhetorical structures). ESP genre has been applied increasingly in US higher education (Johns, 2002). This approach is related to discourse communication and has been designed in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language teaching and learning (Swales, 1990). Then, ESP scholars concentrate on genre in textual convention and focus on published research articles. As noted, people in one community will share a set of purposes, and the standard pattern has been set based on these purposes and experts in particular discipline (Bhatia, 1993; Swales, 1990). As a result, GBA is a study of the language use in a specific situation (Bhatia, 2004). Also, it is an application of genre analysis (GA) in teaching and learning with linguistic awareness. Learners are guided to recognize language features and rhetorical structures in research articles differentiating in disciplinary community. …show more content…
In fact, the authentic text produced by L1 professionals can encourage L2 learners to recognize how they compose the target genre in their community. It is scrutinized that GBA is as a tool to inspire the learners to determine linguistic features to master lexical choices and tenses used in their discursive community. Furthermore, GBA can promote learners to examine the textual structure for purposively specific communication. Therefore, this GBA implementation has been widely known as an authentic-analytical strategy to contribute L2 undergraduates and graduates create their writing tasks in academic writing courses (Hyland, 2002, 2005; Swales,
