Cohesion is an important element in writing as it relates to linking ideas and connecting sentences and passages. Cohesion can influence the overall comprehension of a passage and can guide and assist readers as they encounter more difficult texts. The current study explored the development in the use of cohesive devices in L2 writing, with a particular focus on givenness and connectives, by using the Tool for the Automated Analysis of Cohesion (TAACO) as L2 learners write three response essays in a 16-week semester. Forty-two students, either minoring or majoring in English language and literature who were enrolled in an integrated-skills practical English course, participated in the study. Statistically significant difference were shown in elements of givenness and connectives; however the changes seemed to show fluctuation for givenness and consistent changes in the use of connectives. Based on the findings, implications for teaching L2 writing are discussed.
