Abstract
This paper investigates the rhetorical organization of the introduction sections of English and Chinese researcharticles in the field of educationalpsychology. The study reported in this paper adopts [Swales, 1990] and [Swales, 2004] framework of move analysis. In general, the findings of the present study reveal that there are similarities and differences between English and Chinese researcharticleintroductions in terms of the employment of moves and steps. It is suggested that the rhetorical differences reflect some of the distinctive characteristics of the two different cultures, English and Chinese. The findings of the present study have both theoretical and pedagogical implications.
