Fachrurrazy M.A. Ph.D. Keywords speaking class communication strategy types of communication strategies The present study was conducted in order to analyze the communication strategies used by the students in the speaking class. It was aimed to answer two questions (1) what kinds of communication strategies do the students use in their Speaking III Class and (2) what are the factors underlying the selection of the communication strategies In order to answer those research problems the researcher used descriptive-qualitative research and applied it in Speaking III Class of the fourth semester students of English Department of State University of Surabaya. The class consisted of 26 students. The main instrument of the study was the researcher himself. The data were collected through observations with the use of observation sheet to investigate the use of communication strategies by the students. Video recorder was used to record the students activity during their group presentation. Interview was used to validate the result of the observation. The data of the study were the utterances produced by the students during their activity in their Speaking III class in the form of group presentation. In order to validate the utterances triangulations from the lecturer and the students were used. It was found out that the students have used communication strategies such as approximation code switching topic avoidance without their knowing. This is due to the fact that they have never got any information or knowledge about communication strategy. Based on Dornyei s typology of communication strategies the students mostly used approximation as their strategy in coping with the communication problems. The students for about 29% still faced problems in choosing the right words but they used the words which had the same semantic features with the desired item. Appeal for help (15%) and literal translation (13%) were the other two strategies used by the students. The use of message abandonment (5%) and code switching (4.2%) were not as much as the first three strategies. Topic avoidance word coinage and use of all-purpose words were also rarely used by the students in their communication during the group presentation. Circumlocution and mime were the least used communication strategies by the students. The students chose the strategies for some factors such as language anxiety limited vocabulary and structure shyness and worry of making mistakes. Therefore some suggestions are proposed for the betterment of the teaching of English. Firstly the English teacher is suggested to give and explain the kinds and how to use communication strategy to the students. Secondly the teacher is recommended to give the students activities that will arouse the students use of the strategies record the activities and discuss the result with the students. Finally for the next researchers it is suggested to take some steps in their preparations for the success of the research
