概要 The presenter aims to classify texts in the "Writing for an Academic Discussion Task," newly introduced on July 26, 2023, as a distinct genre based on Swales' (1990) and Bhatia's (1993) definitions, intending to elucidate strategies for composing high-scoring essays for this task. The study analyzed 43 essays authored by participants who attended the TOEFL iBT workshop in the summer of 2023, all of which received the highest score of 5, as assessed by the TOEFL AI scoring system. For text analysis, the study has employed “move” analysis. These approaches have yielded crucial findings related to effective essay structures and language features, including discourse choices and sentence patterns. This analysis will shed light on the key characteristics of the new TOEFL writing task, which educators can effectively incorporate into their writing courses.
