However, chiefly focusing on teaching organization and learning process in MOOCs, previous studies have paid inadequate attention to lecturers' discourse. In order to provide some useful views on this issue, this study investigates EFL lecturers' metadiscourse in Chinese university MOOCs to sketch its distinctive pattern across course types. Based on a self-built corpus, this research adopted interpersonal model as theoretical foundation and analyzed the frequency and functions of metadiscourse by AntConc 3.5.7 and IBM SPSS 23. Findings suggest that specific educational context in MOOCs leads to low frequency of metadiscourse and its use is mainly aimed at the enhancement of intelligibility, reliability, and interactivity. Besides, course types with different knowledge structures also exert certain influence on metadiscourse usage. Course types focusing on procedural knowledge (i.e. the knowledge related to practical process) tend to apply metadiscourse to enhance intelligibility and interactivity, while the ones stressing declarative knowledge (i.e. the knowledge related to explicit facts) attach more importance to reliability. Lastly, the paper concludes with implications for EFL lecturers' metadiscourse in Chinese university MOOCs.The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic reached Kenya in March 2020 with the initial cases reported in the capital city Nairobi and in the coastal area Mombasa.
