Three Techniques for Promoting Cohesion in Academic Writing



In this post, I am including the materials I used for a 45 minute workshop on different ways we can help students to write more cohesively. The presentation begins by comparing and contrasting the concepts of coherence and cohesion. Then, it focuses on three different ways to make writing more cohesive: by using a variety of pronouns, through the use of lexical signposts and parallel structure. Also included is a worksheet with a list of activities and comprehension questions designed to help make the workshop as interactive as possible. I hope you find it useful!
