Lack of cohesion in writing is a problem that plagues many ESOL students. How to help students overcome the problem has long been a challenge to ESOL teachers and researchers alike. Yet in dealing with this complex task, many teachers continue to focus mostly on teaching the use of functional connectives such as conjunctions and conjunctive adverbs, overlooking another important element responsible for basic text cohesion, content lexical ties. Many studies have shown that these ties, which involve the use of repetition, synonym / antonym, and superodinates / hyponymy among other tools, are an essential cohesive device in native speakers' speeches and writing (Carter and McCathy 1998 ; Halliday and Hasan 1976 ; Halliday 1994 ; McCarthy 1991 ; Salkie 1995 ; Winter 1997 and 1978).
