Introductions to research articles are structured such that there is a flow of information from general to more specific levels of information. This structure can present problems for student writers because they need to simultaneously handle the hierarchical as well as the linear structure of the discourse. This paper examines the introductions written by three international graduate students and identifies three problems: choice and statement of the macrotheme, oscillation between levels of information, and inclusion of over-specific information. Such introductions create problems for both the writer, during the writing process, and for the reader who is processing the text. The revision of these introductions and the role played by the writing conference are also discussed.
