This research was conducted to investigate how frequently and accurately Lebanese master learners of English Language and Literature use logical connectors in their academic writings in an attempt to explore the level of their cognitive skills. Many researches have been extensively done to study learners’ misuse, underuse, and overuse of logical connectors in their academic writing. However, the use of logical connectors in EFL learners’ writings as an indicator of their cognitive skills remains under investigation. To explore this field, the researcher collected data from a corpus consisting of 28 papers of literature review (35,146 words) written by a sample of Lebanese EFL master learners at the Lebanese University. They developed their literature review in the form of a course assignment, not as a section of a master or dissertation project. The current study adopted quantitative analysis because the researcher wanted to compare the occurrences and accuracy of the logical connectors in three main parts of learners’ literature review: summary part, analysis and synthesis part, and evaluation part. The results showed that there was no statistical difference in the frequency of logical connectors among the three parts. However, the nature of logical connectors used by learners revealed different semantic functions. In addition, examining the frequency and the nature of logical connectors used in learners’ literature review revealed the cognitive skills of remembering, understanding, and analyzing findings of previous studies. As for the cognitive skill of evaluation, it was revealed at a lower scope of use in learners’ literature review. |
