Learning to Communicate in the EFL Classroom

Speaking is a major aspect of foreign language learning. In fact, learning to communicate effectively is probably the ultimate goal of every learner. How do language learners actually cope with problems they encounter while trying to convey a message? What communicative strategies do they use to achieve their communicative goal? How do they cope with group situations that require interactive and negotiation skills? The aim of this paper is to explore these questions by analyzing group discussions among first year university students who are studying English. By understanding some of the ways learners attempt to communicate, we can proceed to understand learners' needs and, thus modify our teaching accordingly.
