摘要：
This study investigated university debaters' communication strategies in an English debate class in the Department of Applied Foreign Languages (DAFL) at a techno-logical university in central Taiwan. Specifically, this study explored the types of communication strategies used by 20 debaters during their debating processes. The research methods adopted were as follows: Firstly, participants' debating processes were recorded using a digital video recorder to capture the debaters' interactions and nonverbal expressions throughout the whole processes of their debating. Accompa-nied with the digital video recorder, classroom observations were conducted using field notes to record the whole processes of debates. All the spoken data recorded by the video recorder during the whole semester was typed out in a verbatim format, a word-for-word transcription in order to achieve an accurate and reliable transcript to investigate the communication strategies employed by debaters. Lastly, specific dialogues from the debate transcripts were typed out to formulate a questionnaire for each individual debater to choose which communication strategies they used during these conversations. The results showed, in English oral expressions during debating processes, the participants (i) used a large number of fillers probably because they had limited time to prepare what to speak next, or because they intended to gain more time to construct their sentences in English (ii) repaired many times in order to form correct English sentences; (iii) employed nonverbal means to convey the mes-sages when they did not know how to express their meanings in English; (iv) asked the interlocutors to repeat their questions when they could not comprehend the mes-sages. The study shows a need for instructors to teach English as a Foreign Lan-guage (EFL) learners some useful communication strategies since the participants didn't seem to know these strategies well and didn't apply them into their conversa-tions.
