The University of Tehran Journal of Foreign Language Research 2588-4123 5 1 2015 03 21 An Introduction to Discourse Monitoring System: Theories,Models, Strategies, and Researches An Introduction to Discourse Monitoring System: Theories,Models, Strategies, and Researches 61 86 62512 10.22059/jflr.2015.62512 FA Journal Article 2016 08 27 This paper intends to investigate discourse monitoring system through the analysis of theories, models, strategies, and researches. Three theories of coherence, relevance, and norm epistemic outlook are offered. Six models are offered. The critical analysis of the models resulted in a scientific, research, and educational inference that Fraser’s (1992, 1998) model possesses the highest rate of application. Other models suffer from various practical limitations. Moreover, the study revealed that discourse monitoring strategies are speaker-oriented, hearer-oriented, and speaker\hearer-oriented. Some of them overlap and are not separate and may be mixed up. And the researches, in the area, have mostly been quantitative, discovered the type and the frequency of occurrences, have been limited to TEFL, and other languages and the relevant areas are mostly ignored. As a result, they could not support formulation of an integrated theory. And finally, some scientific, educational, research, executive, social, and managerial implications are provided to facilitate, manipulate, and influence the process of monitoring discourse.
