This study is about the use of non-linguistic means strategies as a part of communication strategies by the English Department students of one of the Islamic Universities of Malang as a means to solve their speaking problems. This paper aims at discussing the result of some observations and interviews to two students in the use of non-linguistic means strategies in EFL learning to handle their speaking problem. I am interested in discussing this topic because the use of non linguistic means strategies has helped EFL learners handle their speaking problems in EFL learning due to their limited knowledge on linguistic elements. It is necessary for the EFL learners to know more about non-linguistic means strategies as a part of communication strategies so that they might develop their speaking skill.
