Abstract
The present qualitative investigation is an action research inquiry aimed at the identification of
the strategies of communication that a group of senior language learners uses while learning and
interacting in the English language. The action research approach of inquiry allows going
through different stages of analysis and study, therefore, it was possible to plan, implement and
observe while the group learned and communicated in the target language. The results of the
study show the communication strategies that senior language learners use and how they use
them. This study might be a starting point for further investigations focused on senior adult
language learners, a fast growing group, as population trends show. The study finishes with
recommendations on how to help senior adult language learners achieve their goals of
developing better communication in the target language.”
