Abstract

This paper reports on the move analysis of the conclusion section of the aerospace English research article (RA). The results are based on the identification of 50 pieces of aerospace conclusion section of RA, published in two leading journals that were written by English native writers from 2018 to 2023. Yang&Allison(2003) and Zhiqing Hu(2007)'s model are the starting point for the analysis. Then, the major Moves and Steps were extracted and the frequencies were calculated, which attempts to provide a modified model for aerospace research articles' conclusion section. The results reveal that the aerospace conclusion section has three major Moves, which are Move 1: Summary of study; Move 2: evaluation of study; Move 3: suggestion for future research. Most of the conclusions have Move 1 and Move 2. This study aims at improving the genre awareness of novice and non-native researchers in order to facilitate their disciplinary writing, publishing, and reading.
