Abstract

Writing communication is of significant importance for learners, specifically for journalists in the department of media at the university level. Journalists should know well how to communicate their messages clearly for the audience. Specifically, knowing how to use conjunctions accurately in writing is an important aspect of language that can create coherence and sustain the achievement of communication. Conjunctions serve to give reasonable meaning, helping the reader construct the different segments of a text, however they are not the only means to create cohesion. They play a massive role in giving the text its meaning. The use of conjunctions is a problematic topic for Iraqi media EFL undergraduate learners. A test is designed to identify the mistakes made by learners in using conjunctions. Then, the participants’ mistakes are divided into three types according to the analysis of their responses.
