dc.description.abstractThis study examines the influence of communication strategy instruction on tertiary Iraqi EFL students’ fluency and self-confidence. For the purpose of this study, 50 tertiary Iraqi EFL students were selected and divided into three proficiency levels (low, intermediate, high). In this study, the researcher used quasi-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. All the students received 10-week communication strategies training lessons. These lessons were based on teaching 10 kinds of communication strategies which were selected from taxonomies of Dörnyei and Scotts’ (1995a, 1995b) and Farrahi's (2011). These strategies were taught according to the instructional guide which was proposed for this study. This guide was based on providing valuable definitions and examples for the selected communication strategies. It followed some procedures that were proposed by Dörnyei (1995). Pretest and posttest procedures were used to find out the influence of the instruction of communication strategies on Iraqi EFL students’ use of non-taught/ taught communication strategies, fluency, and self-confidence. The influence of the instruction was assessed by two types of data collection which are qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were collected using the oral test (topic description) and speaking task (storytelling). On the other hand, the quantitative data were collected using IELTS Speaking Test and self-confidence questionnaire. These data were respectively analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The findings of this study revealed that the participants were varied in the use of non-taught/ taught communication strategies before and after the instruction of communication strategies.en_US
