“…These sessions were video-recorded before the raw data were transcribed. The results revealed some occurrences of language idiosyncrasies in candidates' utterances hence, supporting Paribakht's (1985) research finding that speakers exhibited idiosyncratic patterns in the realization of communication strategies. The results also concurred with the findings of past studies on the influence of speakers' L2 proficiency level on their use of CSs.…”

“…This notion is undeniably relevant in oral communication since some speakers have been found to display a peculiar way in handling communication problems, particularly in their use of CSs (Paribakht, 1985;Awang, Maros, & Ibrahim, 2014). As language idiosyncrasies can either positively or negatively impact communication (Awang et al, 2014), it is important to raise learners' awareness on this issue.…”

The term, "language idiosyncrasies" can generally be defined as what an individual typically says that becomes part of his or her personality. In doing so, this language behaviour can either positively or negatively impact communication. Based on this premise, the current study sets out to examine the occurrences of language idiosyncrasies in second language (L2) communication, particularly at the point when communication strategies (CSs) were employed to overcome communication problems. By employing non-participant observations of real university admission interviews, this study departs from the other studies related to CSs which involved non-authentic, simulated environments. The observed interview sessions were conducted in the English language involving 29 Malay candidates from 20 interview sessions. These sessions were video-recorded before the raw data were transcribed. The results revealed some occurrences of language idiosyncrasies in candidates' utterances hence, supporting Paribakht's (1985) research finding that speakers exhibited idiosyncratic patterns in the realization of communication strategies. The results also concurred with the findings of past studies on the influence of speakers' L2 proficiency level on their use of CSs. As all participants were Malays communicating in an English speaking context, issues on cultural values added to the richness of the data and will also be discussed. While the findings may not be generalizable to all populations, it is hoped that this study will inform curriculum developers of language idiosyncrasies of Malay students, who form the bulk of the student population in Malaysia, so that awareness may be raised and appropriate interventions may be introduced.

“…Apesar de muitos estudos terem examinado os efeitos de várias tarefas e do uso de EC na produção oral (POULISSE & SCHILS, 1989;CHEN, 1990;PARIBAKHT, 1985;YARMOHAMMADI & SEIF, 1992;VARADI, 1983;TARONE, 1980;FAERCH & KASPER, 1983;DÖRNYEI & KORMOS, 1998;FOSTER & SKEHAN, 1996;SKEHAN & FOSTER, 1999), parece ainda haver dúvida se o uso de tarefas específicas desencadeia ou proporciona o uso de determinadas EC. Além disso, há ainda a necessidade de se avaliar a competência estratégica dos aprendizes de língua estrangeira em diferentes eventos comunicativos (FAERCH & KASPER, 1983).…”

“…Ao fazer isso, ele precisa replanejar sua fala e selecionar os itens lexicais adequados para transmissão da mensagem oral pretendida. No exemplo a seguir, produzido por um dos participantes desta pesquisa, podemos verificar que tais processos cognitivos (reconceitualização, replanejamento, seleção lexical) estão envolvidos na reestruturação da mensagem que o falante queria comunicar: I: I started to:… when I finished my law school I only start to study English and Portuguese No tocante aos estudos empíricos, a maioria das pesquisas sobre EC tem se concentrado em estudar (1) a influência dos diferentes tipos de tarefas e níveis de proficiência no uso de EC (POULISSE & SCHILS, 1989;CHEN, 1990;PARIBAKHT, 1985, e YARMOHAMMADI & SEIF, 1992, (2) o uso de EC em sala de aula (FLYMAN, 1997;RODRIGUES, 1999), e (3) o ensino das EC aos falantes de língua estrangeira (treinamento estratégico) (MANCHÓN, 2000).…”

This study set up to investigate the validity of different oral tasks, namely topic-based and picture-based narratives, as data elicitation tasks. Our ultimate goal was to examine whether these two types of narratives would impact upon intermediate learners' L2 oral production, regarding their use of communication strategies (CS) during speech performance. Spearman correlational tests were run so as to check for ranking and frequency of the strategies used by participants in each narrative task. Results indicate that the type of task and its intrinsic characteristics may affect the use of CS in terms of frequency. Additionally, results show that the participants tended to experience fewer difficulties when performing the picturebased narrative, which led them to use a fewer number of strategies. On the contrary, the two topic-based narratives led participants to apply a greater number of CS.

“…Previously and recently, most studies in the field of CSs have focused on CSs role in oral communication (see Paribakht, 1985;Willems, 1987 According to Xhaferi (2012), the lack of vocabulary considers a difficulty that learners face in expressing their ideas in writing. For this reason, EFL learners need a means that enable them to compensate for their lack of vocabulary in the target language.…”
