- Abstract
Research article (RA) is one of academic writing regarding a contribution to knowledge in various disciplines. As a part of RA, an abstract is presented to describe the entire RA in deciding whether readers will keep reading the RA or not. Thus, the structure of an abstract determines its value in outlining the whole RA. This study investigates the rhetorical moves and steps of English Language Teaching RA abstracts. The objective of this study is to reveal whether Sinta levels impact the rhetorical moves and steps of RA abstracts, also to enhance the writing skills for researchers in the field of English Language Teaching. The study analysed 120 abstracts of ELT RAs abstracts taken from 6 Sinta levels that consisted of 12 journals (10 abstracts per each) by using Antmover. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied in exploring and comparing the data by the theory of Hyland (2000). The result revealed similarities and differences in the realization of moves and steps from ELT RA abstracts across Sinta levels. In conclusion, Sinta levels do not fully impact the rhetorical moves and steps. The study can be a guideline for researchers of ELT in improving their writing skills regarding the recent trends of rhetorical moves.
