The present study aims to investigate the effect of explicit instruction of cohesion andcoherence in Iranian EFL learners' writing development. Cohesion and coherence areboth important concepts which cover a large number of discourse features of texts thatneed to be mastered by language learners. The aim, then, is to determine whether thestudents' writing ability would be improved when teachers explicitly teach these ideas intheir classes. In order to achieve the aims, the described methodology has been used.The sample has been randomly chosen from students of English at university level. Theresults of the Independent-sample T-tests administered showed that for both males andfemales, the explicit group outperformed the control group and also the higher theproficiency of learners, the better their writing ability. The implication of the study isthat ESL/EFL teachers can implement explicit instruction of cohesion and coherence tobetter teach their students how to write a coherent piece of discourse.
