Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Goldman, Susan R.; Murray, John D. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1992
In 3 experiments, a total of 48 native English speaking and 55 English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) college students chose alternatives to replace missing logical connectors in expository passages. Differences in meaning and use of the four connector types and implications for improving ESL programing are discussed. (SLD)
