영문 초록

This study investigated communication strategies used by Korean college students in English-mediated classes. Specifically, this study looked into the types of communication strategies and their relationship with learners’ facets. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed and 116 college students participated in this study. Regarding the types of communication strategies, the result showed that the participants utilized all types of communication strategies somewhat evenly, although the participants showed the highest mean value in the strategy category of ‘use of all purpose words.’ About the relationship between communication strategy use and learners’ facets, this study reported that ‘L2 proficiency,’ ‘learning motivation,’ ‘anxiety’ and ‘self-confidence’ could be factors explaining communication strategy use of Korean college learners, with the fact that the quantitative analysis showed no significant learners ‘facets explaining the participants’ communication strategy use. However, the quantitative analysis showed that there were two learners’ facets explaining the participants’ use of ‘avoidance’ types of communication strategies. Discussion and pedagogical implication were provided toward a more efficient communication strategy study.
