Fluency Facts Sheet
Fluency, the most important marking criteria in IELTS speaking module, means being able to speak smoothly and continuously at a normal speed. This explanation of the word seems very easy to accomplish but really difficult to reach. In fact, at the live test, only few of the candidates can pass and achieve a high mark in this part. So, what does fluency in oral English really mean? The following facts may give you some ideas about it and understand it more deeply.
About Translation: When students talk word by word it means they are thinking and translating everything they are trying to say from Chinese to English. Sometimes, they pause or totally stop speaking if they cant interpret a word. In fact, they dont know that most of the Chinese words do not have an exact meaning in English. And it also demands the speaker to use a huge amount of time to think about it. There is no doubt that translating is the most inefficient and ineffective way of communicating. Therefore, candidates should stop thinking of what they want to say in Chinese and instead just create the sentences in English. When they get used to doing that, theyll find it easier to talk at length and their fluency will be better at the same time.
About Repeating: There are many interesting facts why students restate words while they are talking. Firstly, when they are afraid of making grammatical mistakes or pronouncing incorrectly, they will start to repeat themselves in order to buy them some time to think about the rules. Secondly, if they do not have enough examples or ideas to support the topic assigned to them, they might express the same idea in a different way again and again. Last but no least, lack of oral English practice and shyness defiantly will make most Chinese students barely open their mouths. Therefore, all these reasons could eventually give the candidates a less competent fluency. In order to solve the problem we suggest students try not to expect to speak without making any errors. Also, think too much before talking can make them become very nervous. Thus, without competent fluency, students might not be able to have a good conversation.
