Abstract
This study,based on a questionnaire survey of 638 subjects from different Chineseuniversities,which is supported by interviews and observations,describes the generalfeatures of strategy use in the learning of English speaking and in actual English speakingby Chinese college English learners.
The study has found the generally preferred andignored speaking strategies in the English speaking learning process and has discovered 7types of strategy using styles and 5 clusters of strategy users during speaking English as aforeign language.Seven factors are found and they represent seven types of speakingstrategy using.After a careful study of the seven factors,the researcher has created a newlabel for each of them:(1)self-controlling learners;
(2)bold communicators;(3)concentrators;(4)guessing geniuses;(5)conscious learners;(6)prepared learners;and(7)error watchers.Then five clusters of different combinations of these seven factors areaggregated.They reflect specifically five styles of during-speaking strategy use so they arediscussed for a thorough understanding of Chinese college students’use of Englishspeaking strategies.The study has also discussed the possible correlations between Englishspeaking strategy choice and some possibly influential language learning factors such asoral English proficiency,self-evaluation of oral English level,age,gender,and length oftime spent on learning English speaking.
The relationship between English speakingstrategy use and oral English proficiency is studied and 9 strongly predicative strategieshave been found.The study on the relationship between speaking strategy use andself-evaluation of oral English learning aptitude is significantly negative,and therelationships between oral English strategy use and length of time spent on Englishlearning,gender and age are not correlated.
The reliability of the research is carried out bya split-half reliability test,which indicates that the research is reliable.The reliability testresult is also supported by the Cronbach’s alpha.Analysis of the data collected can provide awareness for teachers and learners alike aboutwhat strategies are used most and what are used least by Chinese college students,andtentative suggestions for educators to include English speaking strategy training in oral English classrooms are made.

This study is a small step forward in the understanding of foreign language learners’speaking strategies,for the description of Chinese college learners’English speakingstrategy use can provide information not only about Chinese college students’patterns ofusing English speaking strategies,but also about the present situation of Chinese collegeteaching and learning of English speaking as a foreign language.It is the author’s sincerehope that this study can serve as a reference for college English curriculum designers inChina in the designing of curricula and teaching materials,and training teachers.Keywords:learner strategy;EFL speaking;Chinese college English learners
