Abstract
The study describes and understands how pre-practicum students communicate, meaning using different communication strategies and how these strategies influence language proficiency. It attempts to explain how communication strategies affect proficiency in the language. The survey data on pre- practicum students’ communication strategy and the Language Proficiency Test were analyzed to find out the communication strategies’ influence on language proficiency. Results showed that communication strategies do not have an influence on language proficiency but the lack of proficiency and the lack of linguistic ability can be recompensed by using varied communication strategies in order to negotiate and communicate meaning and ideas. Thus, in order to deliver the concept and communicate ideas effectively, mastery of the use of different communication strategies in different contexts and situations is proposed.
