Rola strategii komunikacyjnych w rozwijaniu sprawności mówienia w języku obcym: trudności i ograniczenia
The role of communication strategies in developing speaking skills in a foreign language: difficulties and limitations

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines communication strategies as essential tools increasing the effectiveness of teaching and learning a foreign language. Emphasis is placed in particular on the relationship between the use of these strategies and learners’ proficiency level. Basing on observations from an action research study, an attempt is made to discuss the difficulties and limitations which the teacher and students may encounter when trying to integrate communication strategies into classroom discourse. Another goal is to propose a classification of communication strategies based on cognitive activity of learners, drawing on Boom’s (1969) taxonomy. This will serve as a basis for capturing the complex process of language learning in the classroom, together with the mental operations that learners engage in.
