English teachers used non-linguistic means, code-switching, prefabricated, appeal for help and stalling or time gaining. The use of nonlinguistic means was a strategy most often used by the teachers. This is since students still have less knowledge of English. The teachers were expected to use and choose the best strategies to overcome the communication problem in the classroom.
