In order to confirm this assumption, this study included a survey, the purpose of which is to measure three factors, in order to verify the possibility of other factors playing possibly bigger roles, among upper secondary school students in Sweden: the frequency of language use, their anxiety levels, and foreign language speaking skills. In order to be able to discuss the data thoroughly, this study includes theories regarding motivation, Self-Determination Theory, and Willingness to Communicate (WTC). The data showed that as the anxiety of the students increased, their language speaking skills decreased, i.e. a negative correlation was discovered. However, their frequency of foreign language use remained virtually the same, regardless of their anxiety levels, i.e. no strong correlation was discovered here. Lastly, the language skills of the students showed a weak positive correlation with their language use, i.e. the more they spoke, the higher their oral skills were. Therefore, the results of this study confirm previous studies claiming that foreign language speaking competence has a strong negative correlation with foreign language speaking anxiety.

They are a criterion for the evaluation of the oral presentation and interaction in the Swedish curriculum of modern languages. Unfortunately, there are only few examples of communication strategies in the curriculum and teachers may ask themselves how different types of communication strategies can be distinguished and categorized. This study showcases how communication strategies used by 9th graders in group discussions can be identified and categorized based on a taxonomy of strategies and how this may contribute to evaluating the use of communication strategies. The research method used in this study is based on qualitative deductive content analysis. Results show, that communication strategies can be assigned uniquely to two major types of strategies, namely avoidance and resource expansion strategies. However, the assignment of communication strategies to different sub-categories proved to be more problematic. Furthermore, it could be determined that knowledge about the two major types of strategies contributes to the evaluation of communication strategies in oral presentation and interaction.
