English has become the language of choice for most international publications. This important role of English has encouraged EFL teachers to invef§jpate academic writing parts to carry out effective teaching. This current study investigated the rhetorical strategies of the problem statement produced by undergraduate students in their research paperfifiroduction. It aims at revealing the texts’ rhetorical structure and strategies to contribute to the teaching model of academic writing. This research is a qualitative, case study belonging to genre analysis, using Swale’s CARS model. Thirty undergraduate students’ problem statement texts were explored.

The rhetorical strategies employed by the students af) making a centrality claim, making topic generalizations, reviewing previous research, indicating a gap, establishing need and problem, continuing a tradition, outlining purposes, and announcing present research.
