Sažetak
The paper focuses on a mixed-method study aimed at investigating Croatian primary
and secondary school students´ use of English discourse markers in written language
production. The results of the study, carried out on a sample of 200 participants,
indicate that Croatian EFL learners have a relatively poor command of English discourse
markers at both proficiency levels. The results suggest that they tend to use a
relatively small range of English discourse markers and point to L1 interference and
inadequate input as possible causes of low acquisition of English discourse markers.
