The Use Of Oral Communication Strategies By Efl Algerian Learners

Authors : Fatima Douadi .

Abstract

The present study aims at investigating the type of speaking communication strategies and their frequency of use by 107 second year EFL undergraduates at Al-Bachir Al-Ibrahimi University. The participants were asked to fill the OCSI questionnaire, with its first part only, to collect the quantitative data. The results show the students’ use of achievement strategies, such as accuracy-based strategies, social affective strategies and fluency-oriented strategies, to overcome the difficulties they coped with when performing speaking tasks.
