The present paper attempts to extend the research carried out for a master degree through the application of a 5 point rating scale. The study investigates how variation in rhetorical strategies employed in introductory sections of master theses is put between genders in terms of their perceptions and, in this regard , it proceeds with a hypothesis that claims a significant difference between males and females involved in the field of ELT on the employment of rhetorical strategies in the modified version of Swales’ CARS model. The results show that there is statistically significant difference between genders in terms of the perceptions on the application of the rhetoric suggested in the model, which, hereby, promotes the hypothesis of the study.
