Many researchers such as Hoey (1991), Wong (2004), Klebanov and Shamir (2006), Morris (2007) and Kai (2008) found out that EFL (English as a Foreign Language) and
ESL (English as a Second Language) learners’ written essays are difficult to understand as they lack coherent structure and organisation. These researchers, in particular Hoey (1991), argue that lexical repetition and patterning in written texts are necessary to produce coherent and well-organised written essays. |
