| Summary: | This paper aims to emphasize the importance of learner strategies for communication in foreign language genuine speaking classrooms. It summarizes some of the background of learner strategies; defines the concept of these strategies proposed by several researchers, and outlines the author's taxonomy of learner strategies for communication adapted from Faerch, C. & Kasper, G. It also discusses the Observation Scheme Form (OSF) designed by Muñoz that teachers may follow when using learner strategies for communication in their foreign language genuine speaking classes. Besides, this paper summarizes key reflections and poses questions for further research on this aspect of L2/FL education.
