Communication Strategies: the Impact on Oral Performance

Communicating effectively in foreign language depends mainly on the strategies one employs to convey meanings when facing speaking problems. Although a lot of studies have been done in recent years on learning strategies used by native language learners, little attention has been given to teach communication strategies to EFL learners in Iran. In this book, the researcher tries to investigate the effect of communication strategy instruction on Iranian EFL learners? oral performance across genders. This research aims to shed light on interrelationship among these variables and suggests the best methods to teach communication strategies that would be useful for English language institutes, curriculum designers, EFL teachers and learners, lecturers, or anyone else who may be involved in the process of teaching and learning English.
