The present study investigates the usage of speech like expressions in written works of Turkish learners of English. It also aims to find out the differences between C1 and B1 level learners in terms of the frequency and types of speech like expressions. The participants in this study were 21 B1 and 33 C1 level students at a state university in Turkey. For this study, students' writing assignments were collected. For the frequency analysis, manual counting of the words was used. For the types of speech like expressions, the data were divided into different groups of speech like expressions based on the framework of previous studies. The analysis of the data showed that B1 level learners use speech like expressions much more commonly than C1 level learners. In addition, there were also some differences in terms of the types of the speech like expressions used by C1 and B1 level learners.
