چکیده
این پژوهش به بررسی شیوه های معرفی خود توسط آموزشگاه های زبان ایرانی، در دو بخش از وبگاههای شان تحت عنوان صفحة اصلی و دربارة ما میپردازد. بر این اساس، هدف از این مطالعه مقایسه و مقابلة تارنمای سه آموزشگاه زبان انگلیسی قدیم-التأسیس و سه مؤسسه جدید-التأسیس ایرانی در رابطه با چگونگی بازنمایی خود در دو وبگاه اشارهشده در بالا است. مدل تحلیل حرکتی سویلز (1990) در درونِ تحلیل ژانر، به کار گرفته شد تا صفحة اصلی و صفحههای دربارة مای دو گروه وبگاه به دقت بررسی شوند. تحلیل ها نشان میدهد که وبگاههای دو گروه مؤسسه از جنبة صفحة اصلی و دربرداشتن پنج حرکت همانند، مشابه بودند. از سوی دیگر، میان حرکتها و گامها در صفحههای دربارة مای وبگاههای مؤسسههای پیشین و جدید تفاوتهایی وجود داشت. مؤسسههای قدیمالتأسیس عمدتاً برای معرفی به شهرت و قدمت خود استناد میکنند در حالیکه مؤسسههای جدید-التأسیس خود را مؤسساتی خلاق در انطباق با نیازها و انتظارات زبان آموزان معرفی میکنند که خدمات رایگان نیز ارائه میدهند. به نظر میرسد مؤسسههای جدیدتر، صفحههای دربارة مای طولانیتری دارند تا زبانآموزان شان را مجاب به پذیرش توانایی خود در برآوردن ادعاهای شان سازند. نتایج بهدستآمده برای مؤسسههای زبان از جنبه تجاری و برای پژوهشگران تحلیل ژانر حائز اهمیت است.
