Generic Structure of Masters' Theses in Applied Linguistics

Writing a Master of Arts (MA) thesis is challenging for postgraduate students. This complexity is of great significance when writing in their second language. From this perspective, genre-centered approaches help non-natives enhance their understanding of academic and scientific texts. This study comparatively investigated the rhetorical differences/similarities in all sections of MA theses produced by Iraqi and international students in applied linguistics.
