The present study investigates discourse organization of L2 interviewees’ responses to one particular question in an English oral language proficiency test (Video Oral Сommunication Instrument or VOCI) that is constructed in a form of a semi-direct video conference with the English language learners. The participants of the study are twenty-five EFL university students enrolled into English language classes in Ukraine that are divided into two groups according to their levels of L2 proficiency. The hypothesis of the study is that there is a positive linear correlation between a level of proficiency and a preference for either a strategy of a narration or a narrative. However, the results of the study, showed non-linear correlation in both proficiency groups (intermediate and advanced/superior) between the language proficiency and a choice of a narrative or narration strategies. Both strategies were chosen by the candidates as the optimal strategies for their level of oral language proficiency. Apparently, it is easier to tell a story due to its universality than to describe in L2. The lower level candidates use this knowledge as a compensation strategy, the higher ones as an efficiency strategy.
