Q: L2 access & lexical processing (p.28)
A communication strategy is "a potentially conscious plan for solving what to an individual presents itself as a problem in reaching a particular communicative goal" (Faerch & Kasper 1983, p.36)
Achievement strategies To reach the communicative goal by expanding the communicative resources at one’s disposal in order to compensate for their linguistic insufficiency • (over)-generalization, • paraphrase, • code switching
Reduction strategies To avoid problems by reducing one’s communicative goal. • topic avoidance- as a form of refusal of certain topics requiring specific language features beyond the learner’s linguistic ability • semantic avoidance (meaning replacement) uttering in a somewhat different way from the speaker’s original intention in order to avoid certain linguistic elements • message abandonment -to discontinue an utterance which is already underway
L1-based • language switch and literal translation IL(L2)-based strategies. • Paraphrase, generalisation, word coinage, and restructuring • L2-based strategies, circumlocution (paraphrase) or approximation --- preferred by more proficient learners
Q: Do you think we should promote learners’ intercultural competence? (p.31)

An investigation of ELT students’ intercultural communicative competence in relation to linguistic proficiency, overseas experience and formal instruction (Hismanoglu 2011) • 35 students at the Department of English Language Teaching (ELT) at European University (from beginners to upper-intermediate level)
The participants were asked to warn a group of noisy teenagers to be quiet while watching a film in the cinema. • NS participants (for example, Could you please keep your voices down? I can’t hear a thing., Could you be quite please?). • However, some NNS responses to this question (for example, Where we are! Where we are now. It’s 2 o'clock in the morning) were reflections of the effect of L1 culture on NNS participants. From six students (17%) who gave unacceptable responses to this question, four students (11%) were in the higher proficiency group, whereas two students (6%) were in the lower proficiency group.
