Both vocabular learning strategies and communication strategies contribute to developing lexical and communicative competence, and thus, allow the learner engage in successful communication. Communication strategies have a compensatory role as well to cover learners’ lexical gaps. L2 learners resort to several sub-types of compensatory strategies based either on L1 or L2 resources to compensate and make do for their lack of lexical knowledge
