Abstract
This paper examines whether communication strategy (CS) usage presented in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) can improve EFL learners' proficiency in communicative tasks. Japanese college students participated in 12-week CS training. The effects of the training were assessed by 3 types of data collection: the participants' pre- and postconversation test scores, transcription data from the tests, and the results of self-report questionnaire elicited by the Oral Communication Strategy Inventory (OCSI). The findings indicate that the students significantly improved their test scores, the use of achievement strategies and their awareness of strategy use.
