Stances in 'Introduction': Education - Introduction 4 - Stances in move 3
(1) Select an 'Introduction' right arrow (2) Select a move in that 'Introduction' (What is this?)


Learning Objectives & Strategies:
Explore stances used (A) to make move (B) to support move-making in Move 3
1. Understand what the 3 moves are? ('Introduction' & 3 Moves).
2. Look at the sentences that make move and the stances used.
3. Look at the supporting sentences and the stances used.
4.
Compare why supporting sentences are differnt from move-making sentences.
5. Check out the ratios of stances used (A) to make move only & (B) overall in Move 3.

High Argumentative: to proclaim

For researchers looking to contribute to this emerging conversation, as we know from designing our own research projects,

High Argumentative: to proclaim

one has to creatively extrapolate from both fields to cobble together pedagogical and methodological strategies.

High Argumentative: to proclaim

Because such research draws on multiple methodological and disciplinary traditions,

36.1 (Y) stating the value of the present research

Non Argumentative

a post-critical framework, as detailed by Patricia Sullivan and James E. Porter (1997), provided an appropriate methodological foundation for studying the various digital writing practices of L2 writers.
37 (N) support C36.1 High Argumentative: to proclaim Grounded in the field of digital writing, Sullivan and Porter have emphasized that ˇ§all methodology is rhetorical, an explicit or implicit theory of human relations which guides the operation of methodˇ¨ (p. 10).
38 (N) support C37 NonArgumentative: to state fact They join others by challenging the traditional methodologies of the objective researcher.
39 (N) support C38 NonArgumentative: to state fact The alternative they propose prompts researchers to construct transparent methodological designs, designs that reveal the researchersˇ¦ positions (ideological, theoretical, practical, physical).
40 (N) anticipate 41

Tentative: to indicate a circumstance

In this new millennium, when most writing (especially in academic contexts) means ˇ§electronic writingˇ¨ (Sullivan & Porter, 1997, p. 151) and

NonArgumentative: to state fact

the inquiries about student populations and the writing technologies that they use are political discussions.

41 (N) support C36.1 High Argumentative: to proclaim A post-critical methodology encourages researchers to forefront these ideological issues in a research projectˇ¦s design.
42 (Y) announcing present research descriptively

Tentative

To further justify post-critical methods for digital/L2 writing research, we will detail Sullivan and Porter's argument
42.1 (Y) announcing present research descriptively Tentative and (will) illustrate how this framework resonates with recent methodological discussions in both digital writing and L2 writing.
43 (Y) announcing present research descriptively Non Argumentative After establishing a theoretical foundation for post-critical methods, we explain the implications of its application.
44 (Y) announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative Although we recognize that
44.1 (Y) announcing present research descriptively High Argumentative post-critical strategies provide only one of many useful methodological approaches for designing digital/L2 writing research projects,
44.2 (Y) announcing present research descriptively Tentative we will demonstrate why these methods are a particularly appropriate starting point for such research.
