Abstract

This research investigates the effect of CONJUNCTIONS on the students performance on doze tests on the one hand, and the effect of CONJUNCTIONS on the students ability to unscramble the scrambled sentences on the other. To carry out this research, the researcher randomly selected two groups of junior students majoring in TEFL and English literature. Both groups were given a Michigan test and the two groups proved to be homogeneous. They were then randomly assigned to control and experimental. There was no treatment whatsoever in this study. Due to their homogeneity, it was supposed that the two groups performance would be the same on the other tests as well, provided that the level of the tests was the same and appropriate to the subjects language proficiency level and they were administered without too long an interval in between. Neither of the two groups (control and experimental) might get extra instruction as a result of which their performance on the following tests might be influenced. Thus, any significant difference in the performance of the two groups on the subsequent tests would be attributed to the presence or the absence of conjunctive devices in the texts. To that end, two versions of the same tests for each phase or aspect of the study were prepared. CONJUNCTIONS were removed from one version, i.e. the experimental groups, whereas they were preserved or even some other CONJUNCTIONS were added to that of the control group. These very tests were administered to the two groups and the t-test formula was then utilized. It showed that the subjects (experimental group) who received the tests with CONJUNCTIONS omitted from the texts performed poorly on the tests for each phase, thus rejecting the null hypotheses.
