The present study focused on the effect of instruction in circumlocution among communication strategies (CSs) on the communicative ability of Japanese EFL learners. Concerning the teachability of CSs, considerable controversy has persisted for the last decade. Negative viewers of CSs teachability have claimed that strategic competence develops in L1 and is freely transferable into L2, while positive viewers insists the usefulness of instruction in CSs. The present study hypothesized that circumlocution consists of transferable and untransferable parts between L1 and L2, both of which are teachable, and that instruction in circumlocution contributes to the development of communicative ability of the learners. In order to prove this assertion, two-month period instruction was given to the learners, and pre and post-test were conducted on L1 and L2. The results showed the significant improvements of the communicative ability and CS use of the learners both in L1 and L2, although the effects were greater in L2. It is assumed that in L2 the learners have improved both in referential level, which is transferable between different languages, and in encoding level, which is untransferable between languages, while they improved only in referential level in L1.
