Studies on the move analysis in the various sections of research articles have developed rapidly. However, the studies on the communicative moves in the discussion section particularly written by vocational college students are still limited. In fact, those students categorized as the novice writers inevitably need illustrations of how to write the proper discussion related to their findings. Therefore, this study was aimed at exploring the communicative moves and the move cycle series in the discussion sections of the final project reports written by EFL vocational college students in one of the state polytechnics in Indonesia. The method used is a discourse analysis on 15 discussion sections. The results showed that Move II, Move IV, and Move I were used frequently in all students’ discussion sections. Pertaining to the move cycle series, students fulfilled the rhetorical functions of introduction (1) and evaluation (4+2 or 2+4) but the cycle for showing the conclusion was commonly not used. The results provide references and the real applications pertinent to communication moves in the discussion section by EFL students.
Discourse Markers (DMs) have a significant role both in oral and written communication. DMs particularly in spoken language support the audience in interpreting meanings. In a discourse, all segments indicate distinct connections. The relations of the segments vary from changing topics, contrasting, elaborating, to inferring. By the use of DMs, the hearers can guess the signal of connections among segments. Despite various choices of DMs that can be used, EFL learners had a tendency to use only common DMs. The use of DMs in an EFL context is interesting to discuss to reveal the students' ability in building cohesion and coherence in their speaking performances. Therefore, this current research is aimed to find out the most frequently used variants of DMs and to investigate the appropriate and inappropriate uses of DMs in student presentations. The discourse analysis was applied to analyze 86 presentation videos produced by students enrolling in Intermediate Speaking Course. The results revealed that the most frequently used DMs are and, also, but, so, and however. The misuses of DMs were mostly pertinent to the overuse and surface logicality.
