| dc.description.abstract | The study reported in this thesis is an analysis of the use of communication strategies and collaboration of Malaysian ESL learners in oral interaction. It examined how Malaysian ESL learners manage to communicate their message in second language face-to-face oral interaction when the intended target language lexical items or structures to express meaning are unavailable. More specifically, the study aimed to analyse how learners and interlocutors convey meaning through the use of communication strategies when the desired lexical items or structures are unavailable. It also analysed how communication was achieved through joint and collaborative efforts of the learners and interlocutors and the extent to which communication strategy use and collaborative efforts provided new lexical input for the learners. The study utilized a qualitative research design of a descriptive interpretative case study. Participants were 16 dyads of university students majoring in Applied Language Studies at Universiti Teknologi MARA Shah Alam working on a picture-story narration of spot-the–difference task. In this study, the dyads’ usage of communication strategies and collaboration were analysed when they communicated the same set of pre-selected 32 referents. A stimulated recall interview was carried out at the end of the task through the replay of video recorded data. Comments made on the encountered linguistic difficulties and strategies they employed earlier in the task were audio recorded. The analysis of the data findings revealed that learners and interlocutors used communication strategies in singles or in combinations. | en_US |
