Abstract

This study investigates the transformative potential of Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) in enhancing the English writing proficiency of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, with a particular focus on the role of discourse markers in promoting fluency and coherence. English writing proficiency is a fundamental skill for EFL students, and research suggests that TBLL can be an effective pedagogical approach to develop this skill. In this re-search, 30 EFL students participated in a structured TBLL program that incor-porated discourse markers to improve their writing abilities. The study em-ployed descriptive qualitative methods design to find out the genres of dis-course markers used by the EFL students in their text. The incorporation of discourse markers in EFL students’ English writing empowers them to create more fluent and coherent compositions. These mark-ers promote better organization and logical flow within texts, resulting in en-hanced reader comprehension. Through the conscious utilization of discourse markers, EFL students can refine their writing skills, ultimately achieving flu-ency, coherence, and effective communication in the English language. It is im-perative for educators and learners alike to recognize the transformative poten-tial of discourse markers and integrate them strategically into the teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language.
