Abstract

In this global era, all educated people, such as professionals and college students, need to have English writing skills. Writing competence will facilitate professionals’ success in their careers and students’ success in their studies.

Based on the background above, this study investigated the coherence of English articles, such as argumentative discourses by Indonesian professionals.
