The usage of video lectures in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) discipline has risen in recent years. However, despite its popularity, the study of TVET video lectures’ rhetorical structure is still scarce. Thus, this can be seen as an opportunity to further investigate this emerging trend. The investigation of the rhetorical structure of TVET video lectures is seen as a way to assist instructors and students in utilising video lectures effectively. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the rhetorical structure of TVET video lecture focusing on the concluding phase. Nine TVET video lecture concluding phases by Malaysian Polytechnics were analysed in this study using ESP genre theory. Cheng’s (2012) rhetorical structure of lecture closing and Ebrahimi’s (2019) rhetorical structure of engineering lecture were used as the main references for the analysis. Based on the analysis, it was found that TVET video lecture concluding phases consisted of one move and six steps. The move was an obligatory move while the steps were optional and appeared in recursive and random sequence. Additionally, it was found that TVET video lecture concluding phase had different rhetorical structure from the face-to-face classroom lectures. Pedagogically, the findings may assist both teachers and students in utilizing TVET video lectures in the process of learning and teaching.
