Being a student of psychology helps me see the amount of culturally appropriated abuse that surrounds and conditions minds of billions. Such levels of normalised abuse not only chokes but also creates a toxic system be it family, love or work. Such toxic environment destroys our creative self and enslaves us to the never ending cycle of abuse and the trauma caused by it. I have seen numerable people suffering in their mind for their whole life, feeling empty and direction less. The impact is much more deeper than most of us can assume. I was raised by narcissists and I grew up believing that abuse was ok and an important part of every family and relationship. The inner child within me kept me reminded that all of this was not ok and normal, there is a brighter and happier side to this dark reality. Well psychology helped me understand how and why we behave the way we do. i healed myself and made it my mission to help others break the shackles of never ending cycles of abuse and the trauma caused by it.

This study sought to examine EFL learners'' strategies and spoken production on different types of oral communication tasks in the classroom. The objectives were to investigate: a) across-task differences in spoken production for high and low proficiency learners, b) across-task differences in strategy use for high and low proficiency learners, c) differences in both spoken production and strategy use between high and low proficiency groups, d) whether strategies learners perceived using reflected the strategies they actually used and e) to what extent a strategy questionnaire could predict spoken production. In this study 48 Catalan and Spanish undergraduates participated with low (N=24) and high (N=24) oral proficiency, as well as four native speakers who acted as benchmarks for spoken production. Participants were recorded on video in pairs performing three oral tasks: a Picture Story, an Art Description and an Information Gap. Tasks were carried out two weeks apart. Immediately after each task learners reported their perceived strategy use (PSU) on a 44-item strategy questionnaire (SQ). Factor analysis grouped PSU into five categories: Interactional, Compensation, Conversation flow maintenance, Planning and Evaluating strategies, which were used to analyze differences in strategy use. In addition, a sub-sample from the high (N=4) and low (N=4) proficiency groups participated in stimulated recall sessions to reflect on their task performance. Across the three tasks, according to Friedman-Wilcoxon tests, significant differences in all spoken production measures were found for both proficiency groups, except for speech rate, and self repair for the high group. Structural complexity was highest on the Picture Story, lexical complexity was highest on the Art Description and accuracy and fluency were highest on the Information Gap. As for PSU, 34% strategies differed for the high group compared to 9% for the low group. For the high group most differences were in Interactional and Compensation strategy use, which was higher on the Information Gap. Between low and high proficiency groups, according to Mann-Whitney tests, there were significant differences in spoken production. Accuracy, lexical complexity, structural complexity and speech rate were consistently higher for the high group on every task. However, there were few differences in other fluency measures (long pauses, repetition, reformulation and self- repair). As for PSU, there were few (18% max.) significant differences between proficiency groups on any one task. In general, the low group used a few more Compensation strategies. To validate the questionnaire PSU was contrasted with actual strategy use (ASU), identified in task performances and stimulated recall comments. Firstly, results showed that the high group were consistent in reporting 63% strategies compared to 48% for the low group. Secondly, the high group was able to gauge differences in strategy use across the tasks more accurately. However, more differences in ASU were found across tasks than identified by both groups as PSU. Finally, multiple regression analysis with the five strategy categories and nine production measures revealed that the SQ was a weak predictor of accuracy (23%), lexical complexity (36%) and speech rate (31%). In particular, the more Compensation strategies learners perceived using, the lower their accuracy, lexical complexity and speech rate. Results are discussed in terms of speech processing mechanisms and cognitive and interactional task features with the following conclusions: a) strategy use and spoken production can be predicted from task characteristics, b) task influences strategy use more than proficiency, c) differences in strategy use may not be observed between proficiency groups, because they may use the same strategies but in different ways, d) strategy questionnaires are moderate indicators of actual strategy use and e) the relationship between strategies and spoken production is non-linear.
