Abstract: The purpose of the study is to analyse the perceptions of EFL learners on the effectiveness of strategies they use for improving their English language skills. In the era of globalization, good language skills i.e. Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing (LSRW) are the keys to open the doors to success. The communication skills help to build a strong relationship and better understanding which are so vital not only in our personal but also in professional life. Professionals having a strong hold on communication skills are considered as an asset for any organization. Professionals who are proficient in communication skills have a considerable edge over those who have not. Lack of communication skills will certainly make them deficient in resources. Job aspirants face several tough challenges in the global job market if their communication skills are not up to the mark. Inadequate proficiency in English language, lack of exposure, low level of confidence and weak soft skills do not let them uphold in the global marketplace. Communication skills are considered as a salient feature in the making of a global professional.
Keywords: English as a Foreign Language (EFL), Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing (LSRW), Strategies.
