Difficulties in Learning ‘Cohesive ties’ in English, Dynamic Assessment and Integrated Mediation Strategy

Abstract

Learning English can sometimes be challenging especially in a place where it is not a lingua franca. Since the learners are unable to grab any good opportunity to practice target language, they face difficulties in productive skills: speaking and writing. Among many other crucial problems, ‘Cohesive ties’, are considered as quite crucial. The proposed study is a modest attempt towards studying the nature, types and causes of learning difficulties in the area of the ‘cohesive ties’. It is also suggested as to how evolution of a compatible technology mediated mediation strategy for learning and teaching of the English language elements with special reference to cohesive ties. As we know teaching strategy can’t be fruitful unless we diagnose learning strategy, therefore in this systematic review, Dynamic Assessment (DA) will be studied to explore its benefits.
