This document discusses a study on the communication strategies used by non-native Spanish speakers in online chat conversations. The study involved 18 participants split into two groups - one experimental group of non-native Spanish speakers chatting with each other, and one control group of non-native Spanish speakers chatting with a native Spanish speaker. Over 15 chat sessions, the researchers analyzed which communication strategies the non-native speakers used, how their strategies differed between chatting with other non-natives versus a native, and the effectiveness of different strategies. Previous research on communication strategy use in computer-mediated communication was also reviewed.
