N2  - This study aims to investigate whether it ispossible to learn communication strategies (CSs) implicitly through EFLteachers' modeling. In the context of EFL classrooms, non-native EFL teachersare supposed to use CSs through which they are also supposed to model the CSsin their classes. Although the literature has an agreement on the fact thatstrategy training should be explicit, there is no empirical study foundfocusing on implicit strategy training. Therefore, this study aims toinvestigate to what extent EFL teachers' use of different communication strategiesin the classroom predicts the communication strategies by students. The data ofthe study was collected by means of quantitative and qualitative data. As forquantitative data, participants were asked to fill into Oral CommunicationStrategy Inventory (OCSI). For the qualitative data, on the other hand, datawas collected through structured interviews. The results indicated that EFLteachers do not model CSs because their strategies in use are rather teachingstrategies like simplifying the language. When specifically analyzed, the onlyCSs explained by EFL teachers' use was message abandonment strategy. Theimplication of the study is that explicit training strategy training should beprovided for students' acquisition of these strategies, which is consistentwith the literature.
