Assess graduate students' understanding of cohesion and coherence in academic discourse: define and differentiate the concepts; identify key linguistic markers of cohesion (reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, lexical cohesion) and discourse-level indicators of coherence (topic progression, rhetorical moves, semantic consistency); analyze how these features influence reader comprehension, processing, and inference-making; evaluate short academic passages and propose revisions to improve cohesion, coherence, and readability.
