Text of Note

Communicative competence and awareness of communicative strategies is an important factor especially among EFL learners while they are interacting with people from the other cultures. Due to the importance of communicative strategies, this study aimed to find out the strategies used by EFL teachers and learners according to Dornyei’s taxonomy. To this end, 10 teachers were randomly selected to be observed and recorded while teaching. There were 30 to 40 year-old teachers with approximately same proficiency level. Furthermore, they all had the ability to teach upper intermediate adult learners. One hundred fifty-seven female and male students attending these teachers’ classes were subjected to this study. The participants within this study were chosen following an intact-group design from the general population of Ava language Institute students in Tabriz, Iran. The utterances produced by participants were tape-recorded and according to Dornyei’s taxonomy were classified. To investigate the research questions, a descriptive design incorporating both quantitative and qualitative method was employed. The result indicated that the strategy of compensatory was the high frequent strategy among the strategies employed by the EFL learners. Moreover, the strategy of stalling or time gaining strategy was the least frequent strategy with the avoidance communicative strategy placed between stalling and compensatory strategies. Similar to the learners, EFL teachers employed the strategy of stalling or time gaining more than the strategy of avoidance that was the least-frequently used strategy by the EFL teachers after the compensatory communicative strategy. Finally, the findings demonstrated that there is a significant difference between teachers’ and learners’ The study has some implications for EFL teachers and learners in using communicative strategies
