Abstract
Lexical interference poses a significant challenge for B2 level English learners, often leading to confusion and errors in communication. This study evaluates the effectiveness of various methodologies to mitigate lexical interference, focusing on explicit conjunction instruction. Employing both quantitative and qualitative data, the research explores how targeted teaching strategies can enhance learners' writing cohesion and comprehension. For B2 level English learners, the phenomenon of lexical interference can be a major obstacle to achieving fluency. But fear not! There are various methodologies that can help mitigate this issue and enhance your English language skills.
