Abstract

Communication strategies (CS) has been seen as useful tools that language learners can use to overcome difficult situations in second language (L2) oral communication. However, research show that not many L2 learners are fully aware of the strategies use and its potential benefits, such as assisting learners with alternative ways of saying particular L2 expressions using a paraphrasing strategy. For the purpose of developing learners’ L2 oral literacy, the use of communication strategies among L2 learners can be initiated in the classroom as alternatives. The main reason for such initiation is to provide L2 learners with skills that they can use to maintain involvement while interacting orally in the language they learn, as well as to improve the quality of such interaction. This paper, therefore, provides a succinct overview pertaining to the notion of communication strategies and its relevance towards the development of learners’ L2 oral literacy situated in Indonesia. It aims at raising awareness among L2 learners and teachers, in particular, about the usefulness of using certain communication strategies in L2 oral communication.
