| The Investigation of the Relationship between EFL Learners' Use of Oral Compensation Strategies and their Personal Stamina Abstract The current study aimed at investigating the compensation strategies used by EFL learners and the relationship between use of these strategies and learners' personal stamina. Sample of the study consisted of 30 third year English section students at the Faculty of Education, Fayoum University. Data collection instruments included: (1) personal stamina sub-scale, and (2) an oral interview. The quantitative and qualitative methods were applied in the current study: the quantitative method was used for counting the frequency of use and percentages of compensation strategies, and finding out the correlation between learners' frequency of use of these strategies and personal stamina (Pearson Co-efficient was used for correlation analysis). The qualitative method was used in transcribing the recorded data obtained from the oral interview, in order to identify the compensation strategies used by the study sample while doing the oral tasks. Results of the study showed that (1) the most frequently used compensation strategy was "use of pause fillers" (53.7 %), followed by "use of repetition" (15.06 %), " use of false starts" (8.08 %), " Self-repair" (7.8 %), "circumlocution" (7.4 %), "substitution" (3.54 %), "word coinage" (1.7 %), and "literal translation" (1.2 %). The least frequently used strategies were "exemplification" (0.11 %), "generalization" (0.66 %), and "message abandonment" (0.78 %), and (2) there was a positive statistically significant correlation at (0.01) level between learners' frequency of use of compensation strategies and personal stamina. Some recommendations and suggestions for further research were given. | ||||
