Abstract
This study examined non-native speakers’ production of speech acts of gratitude in an EFL context, specifically how Turkish and Iranian advanced speakers of English expressed gratitude in terms of strategy use and length of speech. The results of the study revealed that both Turkish and Iranian speakers of English employed most frequently similar strategies for expressing gratitude; however their length of speech was somewhat different.
