Abstract:	連貫性與緊密性爲英文寫作教學上，用以評定學生文章良窳的參考指標，但卻是兩個極易混淆的名詞。本文除對該二名詞尋求定義及釐清其關係外，並討論構成文章連貫性和緊密性的關鍵因素。最後，就英文寫作教學上，教師應如何指導學生寫作趨於連貫性與緊密性，提出建議。 Coherence and cohesion have been two confusing terms for many writing teachers. But these two terms have been used to identify the strengths and weaknesses in student writing. This paper will first clarify the confusion between coherence and cohesion and the relationships between these two. In terms of linguistic property, cohesion concerns semantic relations contributing to coherence. Whereas coherence in written text is a complex concept. It involves a feature internal to text. Secondly, elements that constitute a coherent text will be discussed. These include the grammar of coherence, given-new contract, and others. Finally, various suggestions regarding what and how writing teachers can teach coherence and cohesion to student writers are provided.
