Factors affecting the choice of oral communication strategies

Abstract EN

Target language proficiency, gender, motivation, learners' attitude and communication contexts are among the variables influencing choice of communication strategies (CSs) which have been presented thus far.

discussing the correlation between these variables and choice of CSs can elucidate for teachers the particularities of Libyan language learners in the contexts of certain communication tasks.

hence, the current study investigated the impact of teaching oral communication strategies and the factors influencing their use in Libya.

a semi-structured interview was conducted to obtain the data needed.

the findings revealed that not only learners had gained general confidence by their instruction in the use of CSs, but also the teaching of these strategies was feasible and effective.
