The interview using semi-structured interview was also conducted in order to know the students' reason for using communication strategies. The students' written speech concepts as documentation were also collected and analyzed by the researcher. This research revealed that students used compensatory strategies more than reduction or avoidance strategies. Students used 13 kinds of compensatory strategies and one of the avoidance strategies for only four times. This indicates that students tend to maintain the original message of the speech rather than change it when they encountered some difficulties in communication. Self repair or restructuring was the most dominant strategy applied by students in their speech followed by pause, using fillers and hesitation device as the second most strategy used by students. Both of these strategies were related to processing time pressure problem whereas student used these strategies in order to gain time to think or look for an appropriate phase. Overall the discussion revealed that students used most of the strategies due to their resource deficit problem, especially related to the limitation of the vocabularies. This problem should be considered by the teachers and boarding school‟s language department to improve some activities related to the students‟ vocabulary mastery. This activity should be planned for both MTs and MA students cause there were not many differences in the use of communication strategies of both group. They used the same kinds of communication strategies which indicated that they encountered the same problems during their speech. The difference is only in the quantity of the use of communication strategies. MTs students used more communication strategies than MA students.
