A commonly used method to analyze the abstracts is move analysis in field of Applied Linguistics. While almost no previous move-analysis tradition exists in Korean Education, we tried for the first time to apply coding frameworks to the abstracts. The present study aimed to both examine move structures in Korean Education abstracts and compare the features of Korean writers and those of foreign writers. This study examined Twenty abstracts collected from articles published in the Journal of the International Network for Korean Language and Culture. Sentences were coded using a five-move scheme following Pho(2008). This study demonstrated that most Korean writers’ abstracts give information on the Aim, Method, Results, Conclusion and while most of the articles by foreign writers omit Backgoround and Aim. It was also found that foreign writers violate the move sequence expected by academics in Korean Education field.
