In brief, the classifying criterion of Dornyei’s taxonomy is based on the consequence of communication,
either success (compensatory strategies) or abandoned (avoidance strategies). In contrast, Tarone’s classification is much simpler with similar sub-types placed in one category. Even though the latter seems to be typical and
explicit as what Bialystok (1990: 39) states, it may not be as systematic and integrative as Dornyei’s.
