This study focused on the use of discourse markers by students in writing procedure texts. The aim was to identify the types of discourse markers that were most often used in writing procedure texts. A descriptive quantitative method was employed for this research. The instrument used was a procedure text writing test. In this study, the researcher collected data in the form of 30 procedure texts made by students of SMK Negeri 3 Gowa. This research used types of discourse markers based on Fraser's (2006) taxonomy to analyze the types of use of discourse markers found in writing procedural texts. The results of the research showed that all types of discourse markers were used in students' written procedure texts. Temporal markers were most often used by students, namely (83.7%), followed by elaborative markers (5.6%), contrastive markers (3.9%), and the least were inferential markers (3.2%). This meant that when writing procedure texts, students often explained the sequence or steps. Apart from that, the results of this research also revealed that the majority of students were able to use discourse markers correctly in writing procedure texts.
