Data commentary is an important text type in research articles; however, its discourse model is often challenging to access because it is embedded in the upper genres such as textbook, weather forecast, and journal article. This study aims to establish a discourse model of data commentary, with a focus on academic research papers in Economics and Business administration journals. To accomplish this, this study employs Move analysis and SF-MDA(Systemic Functional-Multimodal Discourse Analysis) to investigate the moves of data commentaries and the metafunctional meanings of each step. The results indicate that the data commentary discourse model consists of three moves: (1) summarizing the topic and methodology, (2) representing figure and numbers, and (3) analyzing and commenting on results. Additionally, 22 steps are identified for each move that creates metafunctional meaning: ideational, interpersonal, and textual.

국내에서 연구된 금융교육 유관 학술논문을 보다 객관적으로 이해하고자 논문 초록에서 추출된 키워드를 중심으로 주요 토픽을 추론하여 포괄적인 담론들을 알아보고자 한다. 연구의 효율성을 높이고 반복될 수 있는 후속과제 연구를 위하여 빅 데이터 분석기법(텍스트 마이닝 - LDA)을 활용하였고 주요토픽에 대한 단어들을 추출하였다. 총 208건의 유관된 학술 논문을 전 처리 한 후에 추출된 명사 32,523건 중 상위빈도 1,201건에 대하여 LDA 토픽모델링을 실시한 결과 16개의 토픽 군이 형성되었다. 최다 빈도의 단어는 “금융이해력” 이었고 다음은 “학생”, “금융소비자” 순이었는데 추론 된 토픽들의 공통적인 주요 요소에는 학교와 학생들에게 교육을 제공하거나 공급하는 과정에 관심을 가지고 있다는 것이었다. 핵심 텍스트와 토픽을 정의하면서 피교육자의 사회적 요구와 성인을 위한 금융교육 관심도가 미흡하여 향후 지속적인 연구영역 확대 가 필요하다는 시사점을 발견하게 되었다.

When one is reading or writing, various forms of bottom-up knowledge—e.g., grammar, vocabulary, orthography, and the mechanics of written language—interact with the top-down processes at the level of discourse. One of the reasons English language learners encounter a lot of difficulty when they are engaged in academic reading and writing is that they have been taught grammar only at the sentence level and not at the discourse level. In order to illustrate how discourse-based grammar instruction can facilitate the acquisition of academic reading and writing, this paper discusses various ways in which the following four topics can be dealt with at the discourse level: cohesion, the tense and aspect system, comma usage, and existential there. Obviously, discourse-based grammar instruction should be integrated with the teaching of the other top-down and bottom-up skills necessary for academic reading and writing. EFL teachers, however, need to know more about discourse grammar to effectively make their learners aware of it and to offer them learning activities that will contribute to better reading comprehension and written production.
