dc.description.abstractBoosters are an important metadiscourse device for writers because it creates an emphatic impression in thereader. In addition, the competence of metadiscourse devices such as boosters is crucial in having native-fluencyin academic writing. Therefore, this avoidance of using boosters may spawn foreignness in non-native writers'academic texts. The present study has four-fold aims to accomplish: (1) whether there is a statistically significantdifference between native and non-native writers of English in terms of the number of boosters and lexicaldiversity of boosters; (2) whether there is a correlation between a writer's competence of boosters and nativefluencyin academic writing; (3) to suggest pedagogical implications for writers regarding the use of boosters;and (4) to create a list of boosters that may be used by writers in their prospective studies. Accordingly, thepresent study investigated 200 articles written in English by Anglophone and non-Anglophone writers. Theresults provided partly statistically significant differences. Another significant result which may be a referencepoint for further research is that Anglophone writers are prone to writing their academic texts with a higherlexical variety when compared to non-native writers.
