Abstract

This study aims to explore the Rhetorical moves and use of Metadiscourse in student abstracts fromthe English Education program at Universitas PGRI Ronggolawe, Tuban. The sample consists of 17 abstractssubmitted by English Education students from the 2023 batch of the program. This Research uses mixedmethods for the methodology, the quantitative analysis focused on frequency counts, descriptive statistics, andcorrelation analyses, while the qualitative analysis explored the functional roles of these elements in enhancingclarity, coherence, and reader engagement. The qualitative analysis revealed that students who used moretransitions and frame markers produced more coherent and structured abstracts. Students who used a variety of interactive and interactional markers, such as transitions, frame markers, and self-mentions to balanceconfidence with caution and engage the reader, were more likely to produce more coherent, clear, and engagingabstracts than those who did not. The findings suggest that students would benefit from explicit instruction on the role of Metadiscourse in academic writing, particularly in how to use hedges, boosters, and self-mentionsto balance confidence with caution.
