Abstract
The process of language learning includes and follows some stages and skills, such as reading, listening, speaking, and writing. According to scholars, speaking and writing are the most difficult skills to master in English language learning. To date, the studies focused on the importance of these skills and investigated the ways of developing them. All aside, writing skill consists of various aspects and the use of appropriate conjunction use is among them. The present paper tries to illuminate the use and the frequency of conjunction use by Turkish English language learners in their final exam mini-essay writings administering a small corpus-based study. Based on the results, the study discusses the potential reasons behind their preference for conjunction use. In conclusion of the study, “and”, “but”, “because”, and “if” are the most common conjunctions (with the use of over 100) among other conjunctions.
