A Study on the Usage of Communication Levels in Expository Composition by Pakistani ESL Learners: A Corpus-Based Research

Abstract

The research is about expository compositions which are coherent with communication levels, and the important factors of discourse. Largely, students were found incompetent to produce good writing skills and low levels of proficiency. The research focuses on the expository composition and analyses 100 students' essays from an experimental point of view which are the corpora of the study, while the research is mixed, and the nature of the research is experimental. The researchers envisaged two groups; controlled and experimental from the University of Lahore, Sargodha Campus. The researchers used Siddique (2017) as a research model and suggested pre-tests and post-tests. It was found that students’ expository essays were full of errors in the pre-test and their level of understanding of communication was weak whereas in the post-test students proved to a greater level. The research suggests that expository essays are the repository of learning whereas all levels of the English language can be improved.
