oherence'' is traditionally described as the relationships that link the ideas in a text to create meaning for the readers. It is often regarded as a fuzzy concept which is dif®cult to teach and learn. This paper describes a classroom inquiry which investigated the teaching of coherence. In this study, coherence was de®ned in terms of a number of coherencecreating devices, and pedagogical materials were designed accordingly to teach the concept to a group of 16 ESL university students in Hong Kong. Data was collected from their preand post-revision drafts, think-aloud protocols during revisions, as well as post-study questionnaires and interviews. The ®ndings suggest that at the end of the explicit teaching of coherence, students improved the coherence of their writing and directed their attention to the discourse level of texts while revising. They also felt that the teaching of coherence had enhanced their awareness of what effective writing should entail. The paper concludes with insights gained from the classroom inquiry. #","publication_date":"2002,,","publication_name":"Journal of Second Language Writing","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":"50405263"},"document_type":"paper","pre_hit_view_count_baseline":0,"quality":"high","language":"en","title":"Teaching coherence to ESL students: A classroom inquiry","broadcastable":true,"draft":null,"has_indexable_attachment":true,"indexable":true}}["work"];

important yet abstract concept associated with writing quality. While earlier studies have investigated writing coherence for L1 children and university ESL students, our case study is the first that adapts Lee's (2002a) pedagogical framework to teach writing coherence to lower secondary school students in expository essay writing. The case study was conducted in a secondary school in Singapore. It involved seven students, aged 15 in Secondary Three (Grade 9). All of them were Chinese except for one Filipino. The study examines the impact of an intervention programme on students' writing coherence in expository essays. The findings suggest that the lower secondary school writers were able to write locally and globally more coherent expository essays after the intervention programme. Specifically, the essays became more coherent with significant differences reported in the number of sentences written per topic and proportion of extended sequential progressions. Our study has advanced knowledge of how writing coherence can be taught to EFL students in the context of an exposition genre. It extends previous research by providing further evidence that coherence is not necessarily an elusive concept, but EFL teachers can use a set of tangible coherence-creating mechanisms to teach it in classrooms and students can learn to apply it in their essays. We conclude by suggesting pedagogical implications of this study, and possible future directions in research on coherence in writing.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button

It is defined as the semantic unity that binds the whole text together. Yet, in spite of its fundamental importance, it is still considered a fuzzy and abstract concept in most English Second Language (ESL) contexts. As a result, a large number of ESL learners struggle to produce a coherent text. Morphological, phonological and orthographic awareness, as well as vocabulary knowledge and grammatical competence, have been identified as predictors of writing quality in novice writers. There is, however, a lack of data which can be used to assess whether these language skills are predictors of coherence in adult ESL learners&#39; writing.

One important aspect of language acquisition is good writing skills. However, students learning English as a foreign language often need help developing cohesion and coherence in writing. This study aims to examine whether a simple view of writing can improve EFL students&#39; cohesion and coherence. This study utilized a quantitative method. Data were collected using two instruments: cohesion and coherence tests and student response questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and regression tests. The results showed that a simple view of writing can improve EFL students&#39; cohesion and coherence. Students who used a simple view of writing learning had higher cohesion and coherence scores than students who did not use a simple view of writing learning. English teachers can use this technique to help students write more coherence and cohesive texts.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Improving Efl Students' Cohesion and Coherence Through Simple View of Writing","attachmentId":112354741,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/116143418/Improving_Efl_Students_Cohesion_and_Coherence_Through_Simple_View_of_Writing","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/116143418/Improving_Efl_Students_Cohesion_and_Coherence_Through_Simple_View_of_Writing"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="8" data-entity-id="64623840" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/64623840/Cohesion_in_ESL_Classroom_Written_Texts">Cohesion in ESL Classroom Written Texts</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="44315472" href="https://independent.academia.edu/MojiOlateju">Moji Olateju</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Nordic Journal of African Studies, 2006</p><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">This paper examines the extent to which ESL (English as a Second Language learners) have been able to achieve cohesion in their written texts by examining the cohesive devices used by the students during their continuous writing sessions at school. The data used were drawn from seventy final year students of Ooni Girls High School in Osun State Nigeria. The elicitation technique was an essay writing exercise in which the students were given two essay questions which would enable them to demonstrate their knowledge of cohesive devices in English. An analysis of the data revealed that the students lacked competence in their use of cohesive devices despite the fact that they had been exposed to intensive teaching of English for six years in the secondary school.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Cohesion in ESL Classroom Written Texts","attachmentId":76573513,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/64623840/Cohesion_in_ESL_Classroom_Written_Texts","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/64623840/Cohesion_in_ESL_Classroom_Written_Texts"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="9" data-entity-id="3227109" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/3227109/Coherence_and_academic_writing_Some_definitions_and_suggestions_for_teaching">Coherence and academic writing: Some definitions and suggestions for teaching</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="3692625" href="https://lagh.academia.edu/S%C3%ABl%C3%ABn%C3%A2G%C3%B6u">Sëlënâ Göu</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--metadata ds2-5-body-xs">Tesol Quarterly, 1986</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"Coherence and academic writing: Some definitions and suggestions for teaching","attachmentId":31093961,"attachmentType":"pdf","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/3227109/Coherence_and_academic_writing_Some_definitions_and_suggestions_for_teaching","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/3227109/Coherence_and_academic_writing_Some_definitions_and_suggestions_for_teaching"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div></div></div><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--wrapper js-loswp-sticky-ctas hidden"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--grid-container"><div class="ds-sticky-ctas--container"><button class="ds2-5-button js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"continue-reading-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":50405263,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}">See full PDF</button><button class="ds2-5-button ds2-5-button--secondary js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"download-pdf-button--sticky-ctas","attachmentId":50405263,"attachmentType":"pdf","workUrl":null}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 20px" translate="no">download</span>Download PDF</button></div></div></div><div class="ds-below-fold--grid-container"><div class="ds-work--container js-loswp-embedded-document"><div class="attachment_preview" data-attachment="Attachment_50405263" style="display: none"><div class="js-scribd-document-container"><div class="scribd--document-loading js-scribd-document-loader" style="display: block;"><img alt="Loading..." src="//a.academia-assets.com/images/loaders/paper-load.gif" /><p>Loading Preview</p></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="scribd--no-preview-alert js-preview-unavailable"><p>Sorry, preview is currently unavailable.
