The main goal behind setting this study is to examine the move structure existing in the introductions of the research article genre. The study follows a corpus analysis method. The corpus consists of 14 introductions of English research articles published in Al Athar, a periodical by the Faculty of Letters and Languages at Kasdi Merbah University, Ouargla. To select the sample, the systematic sampling strategy was adopted as a strategy. The results of the study revealed that writers’ practice of the move diverges. Some writers do not use moves in their introductions, others use moves convenient to the nature of the topic. In addition, the findings revealed that writers adopt Swales’ (2004) CARS model to a certain extent. The use of CARS moves varies from one introduction to another. Last, results show that writers do not give an equal importance to each single move. Certain moves are much more prevalent, and others are lesser.
