Notice:	Dear Readers, I am a MA student in English Language Teaching at the University of Isfahan, studying English discourse markers in spontaneous speech of Persian English speakers. My primary research interests include the identification of DMs, determining their frequency and the examination of pragmatic appropriateness of these elements based on a corpus data of EFL speech production in dissertation defenses. For my dissertation research, I need to get help from a few native speaker experts in the field of discourse to pass judgment about appropriateness of discourse markers used by Persian speakers. I would appreciate any help and suggestion you could provide.
