Also, the work investigates the communicative strategies that the students employ in order to enhance the oral skills of the A2 level students. This work analyzes aspects such as the role of the mixed-age class composition and its effect on the development of the class, the relationship between the implementation of the oral communication strategies and peer interaction, and the effect of oral communication strategies as a possible enhancer of the class participation process. As well, it provides an overview of the class dynamics and offers an integrative strategy that teachers and students can implement in class to improve group/peer interaction and oral production. metadata Jimenez Martinez, Orlando Jesus mail orjimenez27@gmail.com (2022) An Action Research for Improving Class Interaction through Oral Communicative Strategies in a Mixed-Age Group in the Fifth Level of EFL Courses of the National University of Costa Rica.
