Assess students' ability to identify and analyze rhetorical moves (e.g., CARS move-step patterns), cohesion devices (reference, lexical chains, conjunctions), and stance features (hedging, boosters, attitude markers, citation practices) in English-medium research-article introductions across disciplines; include tasks to annotate short introduction excerpts, explain how cohesive and stance choices realize communicative purposes, and compare disciplinary variations and implications for audience and rhetorical effectiveness.
