The purpose of this study is to investigate the structure and coherence of the conclusion discourse of the Korean master’s thesis in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences. 25 papers each of Korean and Chinese students were randomly sampled. The data were examined by two raters based on the modified Dudley-Evans (1994) model and relational coherence. The findings indicate that in the introduction, purpose, general/historical background, necessity justification, necessity, theory/previous research, method, and result/content were analyzed. In the evaluation, information, result, reference to previous research, commentary/explanation, discussion/practical application, andrecommendation were identified. In the conclusion, information, result/content, significance, significance justification, limitation, recommendation justification, and recommendation were found. The generalized model was similar to those of previous studies targeting Korean education or business majors. As a result of exploring its coherence through the relationship between moves, structural features themselves were not sufficient to improve discourse competence. Also, the needs for actions such as repositioning, adding, deleting, or correcting the contents depending on the type of error, was discussed. The necessity of considering semantic coherence along with formal features, was argued. The significance of this study is that, in contrast to the previous move analysis research, the generalized model with a wider application range was presented by targeting a discipline instead of a specific major, and relational coherence, which had limited interest, was also investigated.
