Accordance with a significant growth of developing communicative competence of second language learners in the classrooms, theoretical and empirical research on communication strategies (CS) has been widely conducted, over the past two decades, to investigate how learners cope with performance problems. Much research has been done to identify and classify CS used by second language learners and to know what type of CS is effective. Increased study of CS used by second language learners shows the need to teach CS in the classroom. When we consider what elements should be involved in CS instruction, we need to examine through empirical research what types of CS are frequently used by learners and what factors influence the effectiveness of CS. In addition to these, as teachers, we need to take into account what types of CS will be beneficial to language learning. This article argues what elements should be taken into account in teaching CS based on empirical research on lexical communication strategies employed by 10 Japanese EFL learners. This article first describes what communication strategies are and discusses previous research on CS. After this, results of a study aimed at obtaining empirical data on the use of CS are categorized in terms of frequency and effectiveness. Third, some chosen results are further analyzed to examine what factors influence the effectiveness. Finally, what elements should be involved in the instruction of strategic competence in the classroom will be discussed.
