\u2022 \u00a0Speaking generally, there are two types of language learner: <\/em><\/p>\n

The first type gets really worried about making errors or mistakes. They think about everything that they say carefully. Sometimes, if they start to say something, and then realise they have made a mistake, they will stop and correct that mistake, maybe returning to the beginning of the sentence. They might pause between each word, contemplating what the right word or phrase is before they say it.<\/p>\n

For these learners, generally, their accuracy<\/strong> is high, but their fluency is low.<\/p>\n

\"bullseye\"<\/a>The other type of language learner doesn\u2019t really care about making mistakes or errors. They have an idea in their head of what they want to communicate, and they say it with whatever words and language feel the most natural. They make frequent mistakes, sometimes in every sentence! Their grammar can be a mixture of English and their native language. They either don\u2019t know or don\u2019t care if they are making errors or mistakes.<\/p>\n

These learners have high fluency<\/strong>, but low accuracy.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2022 \u00a0So what should you focus on, fluency or accuracy?<\/em><\/p>\n

The answer depends on what kind of learner you are. If you focus too much on accuracy<\/strong>, and therefore speak very slowly, you need to improve your fluency. Speaking too slowly is bad for maintaining a conversation. After a few seconds of silence, the person you are talking to starts thinking about something else. Communication is failing, you need to speak faster. Don\u2019t worry about making errors or mistakes \u2013 most are not serious, and don\u2019t affect communication.<\/p>\n

But if you focus too much on fluency<\/strong>, you need to ask yourself if you are achieving your goals in communication. Are your mistakes and errors causing problems for the people who listen to you? If the answer is yes, you need to slow down and pay more attention to what you say. Speaking really fast, with lots of errors, is very problematic for the people who are listening to you.<\/p>\n

\u2193 \u00a0What is fluency?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"fluency\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every real-life speech situation brings up new twists and turns, and throws up new speech-composition problems. And fluency in English is our ability to navigate these twists and turns — through good English. And to keep up a steady flow of speech.\u00a0To speak English fluently, of course you must understand instantly and speak without thinking. \u00a0 But\u00a0there is one more requirement\u2013 one more thing you need: \u00a0you must have confidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Emotion is critically important for fluent speech.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s not enough to \u201cknow what to say\u201d<\/em>… You also need to \u201csay what you know\u201d<\/em>.\u00a0 In other words, you must have the confidence to use your knowledge without hesitation.\u00a0Many English students speak badly not because they lack vocabulary or understanding, but because they are nervous, worried and afraid of appearing foolish…<\/p>\n

Therefore, you must train yourself in this area.\u00a0 In addition to studying English vocabulary, listening, and speaking\u2026 you must also study your own psychology.\u00a0 You must learn how to manage your emotions, how to develop inner strength and confidence.<\/p>\n
