Résumé:
The current work aims at investigating students’ attitudes towards the use of communication
strategies at the department of English at Guelma University. Students in that department still
face some difficulties when it comes to producing a fluent conversation and conveying the
intended message appropriately. This fact can ultimately lead to comprehension and
communication problems between interlocutors. In order to confirm or reject the hypotheses
of the present work, a descriptive quantitative qualitative method has been used. That is, a
questionnaire was distributed to third year students who enrolled the academic year
2020/2021. The analysis of the results from the questionnaire proves students’ awareness and
their positive attitude toward the use of communication strategies. Finally, it is recommended
to consider the communication strategies in the speaking classes to improve students’
speaking and their communication skills in particular.
