Abstract EN
When producing an argumentative text, the writer adopts a definite position and advances arguments in support of it.
The textual arrangement of these two cardinal components of argumentation varies across cultures, causing difficulties in learning to write persuasively in foreign languages.
The present paper investigates the text organization of a sample of English argumentative essays written by a group of Arabic-speaking learners of English as a foreign language (EFL).
The analysis aims at delineating the factors leading them to project texts non-conforming to English argumentative discourse conventions.
The findings reveal that multiple factors underlie learners’ textual preferences.
Abstract FRE
En produisant un texte argumentatif, l'auteur adopte une position définie et avance des arguments à l'appui de celui-ci.
L'arrangement textuel de ces deux composants cardinaux de l’argumentation varie selon les cultures, provoquant des difficultés dans l'apprentissage de l’écriture persuasive en langues étrangères.
Le présent travail examine l'organisation de texte d'un échantillon d'essais argumentatifs anglais écrits par un groupe d'apprenants arabophones d'anglais langue étrangère.
L'analyse vise à tracer les facteurs qui les amènent à projeter des textes non-conformes aux conventions de discours argumentatif anglaises.
Les résultats révèlent que des facteurs multiples sont à la base des préférences textuelles des apprenants.
