Quantitative data were collected using an online survey. Participants were 185 (132 males and 52 females) at different educations level. Results indicated that Saudi students used an overt strategy in the American college classroom. Overt strategies involve direct interaction between the student and the instructor, and monitoring strategies involve indirect, third party, testing, and observing. There was a significant relation between communication apprehension and the information seeking strategies. Also, there was a significant relation between the instructor's perceived immediacy and information seeking strategy. However, Saudi students are going to use overt strategy when they feel less communication apprehension and when the perceived instructor show immediacy in the American classroom. 2018 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1545389393941488 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1545389393941488 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
