| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 英國語文學研究所 === 83 === The present study was designed to investigate college-level
Chinese students' use of English conjunctions. One hundred and
thirty-five freshman at National Taiwan Institute of Technology
participated in this study. They were given a simulated TOEFL
test and a conjunction test. The results show that (1) college-
level Chinese students are more competent in using intra-
sentential conjunctions than intersentential conjunctions, (2)
content familiarity seems not quite significant in helping
students to better understand the texts and thus using
conjunctions more accurately, and (3) subjects with higher level
of English proficiency exhibited greater ability in using
conjunctions, both intrasententially and intersententially.
