Assess students' ability to identify and label common rhetorical moves in applied linguistics journal article abstracts (e.g., background, purpose, method, results, significance), analyze authors' stance-taking strategies (hedging, boosting, attitude markers, reporting verbs, citation practices), explain how lexical and grammatical choices realize stance, and evaluate how move sequence and stance align with disciplinary conventions; items include move-identification, short justification of stance readings, and a brief comparative analysis of two abstract excerpts.
