The purpose of this book is to establish the foundation for a
practical EFL programme based on strategy training in tertiary
education sectors. We can see current patterns of oral
communication strategy (OCS) usage, how far these strategies can be
explicitly taught, and the extent to which strategy use can lead to
improvements in oral communication ability. The effects of the
strategy training are assessed by multiple data collection methods:
the participants' pre- and post oral communication tests, corpus
data from the tests, self-reported strategy use as determined by a
questionnaire focusing on OCS usage, and retrospective protocol
data for their task performance. The multiple data analysis of the
study in Japanese context indicates that learners' success is due
to an increased general awareness of OCSs, and the use of specific
OCSs, such as maintenance of fluency, and negotiation of meaning to
solve interactional difficulties. We can evaluate the robustness of
these findings and consider their implications for EFL programmes.
