Open publisher page 38 citations

Abstract

The study of both cohesion and coherence is a favourite field of research among linguists. Both concepts, traditionally connected with the reading process, have become an important tool in order to teach students how to write a text. EFL classes should help students to understand the use of cohesive linkers in the texts, paying special attention to any logical pattern which could help them organise the text in such a way that could be understood by any reader.
