In this study, 14 Iraqi teachers of English from different secondary schools which have been individually interviewed and asked about their familiarity with discourse markers and, whether they were training their students to identify them as a skill or not? The samples of conversations are randomly selected from the English for Iraq curriculum, particularly, third intermediate book.
