“…For example, Warna et al's (2019) analyses of 80 argumentative essays revealed that Indonesian university students 2017; Hamed, 2014;Ismail & Linda, 2018;Lai, 2008;Lee, 2020;Liu & Braine, 2005;Mohamed, 2016;Park, 2013;Saputra & Hakim, 2020;Wang, 2015;Warna et al, 2019;Yang & Sun, 2012;Yeom, 2016;Zhang, 2010). While focusing on different aspects of cohesion, these studies reveal the following major findings: a) students with diverse backgrounds use different types of cohesive devices with different frequencies (e.g., Alzankawi, 2017;Hamed, 2014;Ismail & Linda, 2018;Mohamed, 2016;Rahman, 2013;Saputra & Hakim, 2020;Wang, 2015;Warna et al, 2019;Yeom, 2016), b) the frequency of cohesive devices is (significantly) related to the overall writing quality (e.g., Chanyoo, 2018;Crossley et al, 2016;Dastjerdi & Samian, 2011;Liu & Braine, 2005;Zhang, 2010), and c) students at higher proficiency levels have a better use of cohesive devices in their writing (e.g., Park, 2013;Wang, 2015). For example, Warna et al (2019) analyzed 80 five-paragraph argumentative essays written by 80 fifth-semester students of English language education from eight Indonesian universities, who completed the essays in 60 minutes.…”
