Abstract

This study aims at identifying and exploring communication strategies in the interpersonal conversation done by members of the English Club in the Faculty of Math and Science, Universitas Negeri Semarang (MEC). Qualitative design is applied in conducting the research in which observations and interviews are used in collecting data. The objectives of this study are (1) to find out the employment of communication problems faced MEC members and (2) to find out how they employ communication strategies to overcome the problems. Three steps in finding out the way the members employ communication strategies are recording, transcribing, and analysing. The categorisation of Dornyei and Scott (1997) helps the researcher analyse the employment. Besides, interviews are also necessary to find out some communication problems in the conversations and to clarify some reasons behind the employment of each communication strategies. The result shows that the MEC members employed various communication strategies and the dominant strategies were processing time pressure-related strategies: use of fillers with the percentage of 26.25% and repetition with 22.25%. Some strategies did not occur in the conversations such as message replacement, foreignizing and circumlocution. It shows that they are familiar with such ‘actually’, ‘well’, ‘so’ and the likes to gain time when they lack vocabularies. The research suggests that the members should aware with the communication strategies so that they employ more various communication strategies without doubt.
