Résumé :	Coherence in learners‟ written essays is seen as a problematic and complex concept and thus lends itself to misunderstanding; nonetheless, it is a crucial aspect of any well-written piece of discourse. The present study aims to shed light on coherence related writing problems faced by learners‟ of English in the context of the English Department at the University of Constantine 1 and to suggest some strategies to improve coherence in their writing. In order to achieve this aim, 48 essays were rated for coherence problems by one rater and the same essays were analysed by the researcher for coherence global errors following the text-based operational definition adapted in this study. Next, the correlation between the rater‟s judgments and the types of coherence errors in each essay and the correlation between the rater‟s judgments and the number of violations for each coherence global error in each essay was calculated. To get further insights into coherence related problems, a questionnaire was administered to written expression teachers. The findings yielded by the analyses of the learners‟ essays and the teachers‟ questionnaires revealed a significant linear (positive) correlation between writing proficiency and coherence. The results showed that coherence is a recurrent problem in students‟ essays and that they more often than not violate coherence criteria delineated by text-based approaches. It is, therefore, safe to say that the hypothesis underpinning this small scale research work has been confirmed in the sense that the problems students face regarding coherence can be avoided, and effective production can be achieved if they were made aware of the importance of this concept and the aspects it entails.
