Abstract:
This study intends to determine the difficulties face
final Sudanese secondary school when using cohesion
devices and coherence in their writing.
To achieve this purpose, the study adopted a
descriptive analytical method, the population of the study
consisted 40 female students at Alwia AbdElrafe model
secondary school from Karari locality the tools of data
collection, which was used in this study was the answer
sheets for MOCK Examination 2012.
The data was analyzed by using the statistical
program (SPSS), then there was a textual analysis of
subjects’ written texts.
The descriptive analysis indicated that the SPINE
series
did
not
include
adequate
practices,
which
enhances ideal application of the cohesion devices and
coherence, students’ ignorance of correct usage of it.
Because there is less competence. The findings were
been discussed in the light of the hypotheses.
As a solution of this problem the researcher pointed
out the following recommendations:
Teachers and syllabus designers, should contribute in
developing curriculum.
The teachers should draw their attention to their
students in order to improve their abilities to use
cohesion devices.
The instructors should provide adequate training for
teachers.
The syllabus designers should provide books for the
students with adequate exercises.
I think when our students have written a text, teachers
will consider the features of written texts. However
looking through materials for teaching writing shows
that the result of design of tasks. Awareness of these
can inform the ways of writing tasks in the classroom .
Students should also pay more attention to these
elements of writing.
Teachers should practise their students to use cohesive
devices through focusing on both grammatical and
semantic convention of academic writing .
