Fulltext: Yasuo Nakatani.pdf (195.09KB) Isi artikel It has been argued that EFL learners can improve communicative proficiency by developing an ability to use specific communication strategies (CSs) that enable them to compensate for their target language deficiency (e.g., Bialystok,1990; Dörnyei,1995). Although there are many ways of assessing learners’ strategy use, previous studies have usually selected only one or two methods to investigate learners’ behaviors. As there seem to be no fully established set of assessment procedures, it is important to examine representative studies of each type of method to reveal their strengths and weaknesses. In order to address this issue, this paper examined the validity and reliability of a number of data collection methods. These are observation, interviews, verbal report protocols, diary and journal studies, corpus data analysis and written questionnaires. The results indicate that each of them has a unique set of advantages and disadvantages. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
