Resumo

To understand how rhetorical organization works in different academic genres (Swales, 1990),  Research Articles (RAs) for instance, in English and other languages, can help understand some of the challenges faced by authors from peripheral countries (Monteiro & Hirano, 2020), such as Brazil. This study presents the method used to compare the writing of RAs in American English and Brazilian Portuguese, using the Intercultural Rhetoric (Connor, 2011) as the theoretical approach. This was a mixed-method study that analyzed data both qualitatively and quantitatively. The method adopted enabled the achievement of data related to the macro-structure and micro-structure of RAs, and also helped to develop material that can be used by academics when writing and by writing instructors in the writing classroom.
