Abstract

Over the years writing has been acknowledged as an essential part in the acquisition of English as a foreign language. Its key features, cohesion and coherence, can be defined as the most essential elements which use ideas logically exposed on a sentence/paragraph level to convey information using developed argumentative sentences. Therefore, recognition and detection of cohesion and coherence problems is the first step towards minimizing writing issues which helps students to successfully develop their argumentative essay writing skills. This paper demonstrates challenges of cohesion and coherence that students meet while preparing for argumentative essay writing and offers suggestions based on examples of good practice from our classrooms.

Keywords

cohesion and coherence problems, argumentative essay writing, argumentative sentences, classroom practice.
