The purpose of this paper is to understand the features of cohesion and using cohesive device in the speaking test performance. Cohesion and using cohesive devices are an important linguistic mechanism when making sentences seem like sentences. Also, the actual denotation semantics are regulated from within the sentence. However, this is arranged not by grammatical relationship but arranged for the sake of communication. 30 Chinese Korean Learns performed different tasks of narrative in this study. 30 samples from three narrative tasks were transcribed and analyzed. This study first explored in which categories cohesive devices(reference, conjunction, lexical, ellipsis) appeared in narrative test samples. Also, global dimension of using cohesive devices was examined in each sample. It is hoped that research on cohesive device features will positively link to the related issues in Korean speaking test, as well as helps teachers, raters, and material developers.
