 Importance and Problem
• Logical connectors enable writers to link ideas, sentences, and
paragraphs effectively, creating cohesive and coherent text
(Hyland, 2004; Leki, 2007; Swales, 1990).

• Many students struggle to use logical connectors correctly,

leading to unclear and disjointed writing (Leki, 2007).
 Gap and Material Purpose
• Many writing instructors struggle to integrate logical
connectors into their teaching practices, often relying on
anecdotal evidence or intuition rather than empirical research
(Leki, 2007).

• Developing targeted instruction on logical connectors

grounded in empirical research can provide students with the
skills to use logical connectors effectively (Hyland & Tse, 2005;
Leki, 2007).
