Abstract
The purpose of this research was to understand the use of discourse markers in the English-written essays by Omani EFL learners at the University of Nizwa. The research objectives were: i) to understand the types of discourse markers used in their English written compositions. ii) to find out the most frequently used category of discourse marker in their English written compositions. The samples were 6 English-written compositions of 500 words from six level 3 Omani foundation EFL learners at the University of Nizwa. The qualitative method was chosen for the data collection and data analysis of this research. The findings revealed that discourse markers from the 5 categories proposed by Fraser's (1999) taxonomy of discourse markers were used by students in their essays. However, due to students’ limited knowledge of various discourse markers and the use of small and simple sentences, they tend to overuse the elaborative markers in their essays compared to other categories. As a result, the quality of the text seems to be affected. One primary recommendation for instructors is to implement interactive teaching techniques for students to easily understand various discourse markers that could be used according to different contexts.
