The document discusses several key aspects of teaching spoken English fluency, including clustering to organize speech, using redundancy to clarify meaning, dealing with reduced forms, performance variables in thinking while speaking, ensuring students understand colloquial language and practice it, helping students achieve an acceptable rate of delivery, the importance of stress, rhythm and intonation patterns, and the value of interaction to develop conversational skills.

2. Clustering
Fluent speech is phrasal, not word by
word. Learner can organize their output
cognitively & physically through such
clustering.

3. Redundancy
The speaker has an opportunity to make
meaning clearer through the redundancy
of language.

4. Reduced forms
Contractions, elisions , reduced vowels
,…,all form special problems in teaching
spoken English.

5. Performance Variables
Process of thinking as you speak allows
you to manifest a certain number of
performance hesitations , pauses ,
backtracking & corrections.

6. Colloquial Language
make sure your students are
reasonably well acquainted with
words , idioms & phrases of
colloquial language and that they get
practice in producing these forms.

7. Rate of delivery
One of your task in teaching
spoken English is to help learners
achieve an acceptable speed along
with other attributes of fluency.

8. Stress, Rhythm and Intonation
Are important characteristics of
English pronunciation .the stress-
timed rhythm of spoken English & its
intonation patterns convey important
messages.

9. Interaction
Learning to produce waves of
language in a vacuum without
interlocutors would rob speaking
skills of its richest component (the
creativity of conversational
negotiation)
