Fillers and the Development of Oral Strategic Competence in Foreign Language Learning

Abstract

A lot of research has been carried out on how students go about developing communicative competence when learning foreign languages.However, little do we know about how foreign language teachers help their learners to develop oral strategies that will enable them to cope with speaking problems on the fly and beyond the FL classroom.In this article we focused on a single oral communicative strategy that, we argue, has been neglected, in general, in foreign language classrooms.We present the findings of a research that focused on teaching fillers in FL classrooms in different teaching contexts and various FL classes.
