Abstract

This paper reports on oral language production of adult Indonesian learners whose first language is English. It aims at examining communication strategies used by four pre-service diplomats with intermediate language proficiency. Data collection instruments included audio recordings of semi-structured interviews and free conversations. Spoken data produced by learners was transcribed and analyzed in terms of the frequency of communication strategies. The categorization of the communication strategies was carried out following Dörnyei and Körmos’ taxonomy. The result revealed that learners often employed lexical strategies, which showed their L1 or other foreign language influence and self-correction strategies, which presented higher linguistic demands. This study also suggests that teachers should create opportunities for more meaningful and natural communication to enable students to use and develop their communication strategies.
