What is a Conclusion?
• According to Webster Dictionary- reasoned
judgement based on evidence.

• is the final stage of the research output.

the research study
A move is defined by Nwogu (1997) as “a text
segment made up of a bundle of linguistic features
which gives the segment a uniform orientation and
signal the content of discourse in it. In other words
the said segment has to achieve the communicative
purpose of a particular move or step.
On the other hand, a step “ spells out more specifically
the rhetorical means of realizing the function of a
move” (Nwogu, 1997. p.114).This means to say that if
a step is achieved under a particular move;
therefore the communicative purpose of the move
has also been achieved.
YANG AND ALLISON’S CONCLUSION
MODEL
MOVE 1- SUMMARIZING THE
STUDY
• objectives of the study
•enumerate the findings and
their implications
MOVE 2-EVALUATING THE STUDY
Step 1- Indicate significance
/advantage
Step 2- Limitation of the study
Step 3- Evaluating the methodology
MOVE 3-DEDUCTIONS FROM THE
RESEARCH
Step 1-Recommending further study
The researcher recommends to
further establish the findings the
current study and for future research
direction.

Reminders
Yang and Allison’s (2003) model is not a linear
framework. Thus, a researcher may begin achieving
any of the moves of his /her choice.
Likewise, a researcher is not required to achieve
all the moves as long as majority of the moves and
steps are realized.
Policy Recommendations
Specifically stating what should be done, the steps
required to implement the policy, and the resources
needed;
Discussion of the benefits to the organization and
what problems would be corrected or avoided;
Discussion of the feasibility of the proposed policy;
Directions:
Write a research conclusion following Yang and
Allison’s (2003) Framework.
Indicate the moves and steps you’ve used.

• Assign a reader to present your research conclusion.

• Write your research conclusion on manila paper.
