Abstract. This study explores the relationship between reading comprehension
and coherent writing production among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students
in Uzbekistan. In recent years, there has been growing recognition of the connection
between reading comprehension and writing proficiency, with research indicating that
strong reading skills can enhance the ability to produce coherent and well-organized
written texts. The primary aim of this research is to investigate how reading
comprehension strategies influence writing outcomes, specifically in terms of logical
flow, clarity, and cohesion, among Uzbek EFL learners. The study utilizes a mixedmethods approach, combining quantitative analysis of students’ reading comprehension
scores with qualitative assessment of their writing samples. The findings suggest that
students with higher reading comprehension levels tend to demonstrate more coherent
and organized writing, supported by stronger vocabulary usage and sentence structures.
This paper discusses the implications of these findings for EFL teaching practices in
Uzbekistan, highlighting the importance of integrating reading comprehension exercises
with writing instruction to improve students’ overall language proficiency.
Keywords: reading comprehension, writing production, EFL students, coherent
