This study intends to explore students' perceptions aboutteachers'
qualifications to help students learn the communicative skills as theyare taught in
schools.Another purpose was to determine the most frequently taught communication
strategy in high school classrooms in Khouzestan province.Ninety seven high school
students participated in this study. A questionnaireand an interview were used. They
ticked statements about the support they received and the frequency of communication
strategies taught by the teachers. The statements were to be rated on a 6-point Likerttype
classification from Strongly Disagree (rated as 1) to Strongly Agree (rated as 6).
The findings showed that many students considered the problem of " my teachers did
not use English to run the class (M=6.2) and" my teachers did not help me when I
stopped to talk and they always turned to better students" (M=5.1) as preventing them
from leaning to communicate more than "the lack of use of group, pair-work or role
plays" (M=4.6). The mean differences of the two groups were statistically significant
(p=.00).
