This paper is based on the psycholinguistic research on communication and discusses the role played by communication in the process of English language learning and teaching. For the last ten years, we have been studying the role of communication particularly in learning/teaching maritime, legal and business English, from a psycholinguistic perspective. Using questionnaires and experiments accompanied by observations and discussions (for a correct interpretation of the data) we have been able to draw some general conclusions which can be applied to learning/teaching English as a foreign language, even in situations different from the ones in which we carried out our study.
