There is 25%
weight-age given to Coherence and Cohesion in IELTS Exam. They are preferred
with high weight out of all the resources. People are focusing on correcting
the lexical resources alone in the IELTS Exam. They are not paying attention to
Coherence and Cohesion. That’s why they score a low band in writing and
speaking task in IELTS.
Meaning of Coherence
Coherence is the quality
of being logical and consistent. It mean’s sentences are logical
throughout the essay and speech. In addition to it, your writing and speech
should be in consistent flow.
Meaning of Cohesion
It concentrates on
your writing and speech being focused and not vague. Cohesion is the action
or fact of forming a united whole. It’s how you present your topic as a
whole, with all the grammar correct.
There is need of coherence for IELTS. Why?
IELTS exams writing
and speaking test you on coherence along with other criteria. Therefore,
when you write your task test in IELTS you should familiarize yourself.
All the ideas you pen down in your essay should be linked with each other.
That’s when you will have consistency in your speech.
What’s the impact of coherence and cohesion on
your band score?
This happens because
often candidates take Coherence and Cohesion lightly and then score low band.
Let’s first, check how is your band graded based on Coherence and Cohesion.
Here are IELTS Task 2 Writing band descriptors:
Bands With Grading
1.
Band 9
Use cohesion in a way that it attracts attention.
There
is skillfully management to paragraph.
2.
Band 8
Uses paragraphing sufficiently and appropriately and
sequences information and ideas
3.
Band 7
May be some under-/over-use. But logically organizes
information and ideas through clear progression throughout. A clear central
topic is being presented within each paragraph
4.
Band 6
There is use of paragraphing, but not always
logically. There is effective use of cohesive devices but cohesion within
and/or between
sentences by faulty. There is coherent arrangement of information and ideas
through clear progression. may not always use referencing clearly
5.
Band 5
Presents some main ideas but these are limited and not
sufficiently developed
6.
Band 4
There
may be a lack of overall progression. But that’s right that the information
presented is with some organization. Make inaccurate, inadequate or overuse of
cohesive devices. It may be repetitive due to lack of substitution and
referencing. Paragraphing may be inadequate..
7.
Band 3
There may be very limited use of
cohesive devices, and those being used may not indicate a logical relationship
between ideas…Ideas are not being organized logically.
8.
Band 2
There is very little control in organizational structure..
9.
Band 1
There is failure to communicate any message
Why do we lose the most score band?
There is consistent
record of Indians with low scoring in speaking and writing test. It’s mainly
due to the fact that they are not well aware with the English language. There
is every possible reason for your less score as coherence is an acquired skill
that need to be taught and not everyone is aware of it. Due to the negative in
the IELTS writing test, you would lose at least 2 bands.
Candidates from India
are having less coherence and cohesion in their sentences and there is no
central idea to the speech.
