Description
This study will report on how communication strategies (CSs) support four junior high school students in developing their L2 production. Drawing upon questionnaires, interviews, speaking/writing test results, recorded and transcribed conversations, and student feedback and reflections, the study highlights the importance of early-stage CS instruction and peer-supporting assessment. Findings suggest that simple paralinguistic phrases and strategic language use can foster confidence and interaction, with potential applications across various teaching contexts.
