Speaking Fluency for IELTS
Speaking fluency is the ability of a
person to communicate her/his thoughts smoothly and without any internal
barriers. In the absence of it one cannot score Band 7 on IELTS test. Absence
of speaking fluently can be felt with repetitions of phrases and words;
excessive use of fillers such as umm… you know… etc.; repeated pauses; continuous
translation before speaking; and repeated correction of mistakes by the
speaker. Translation and lack of confidence are the two biggest barrier to
fluent speaking. Hence the key to develop speaking fluency is to think and
speak in the same language; and develop confidence on one’s speech, voice,
content of speech etc.
Reading Fluency for IELTS
A fluent reader engages in
the process of reading so much that s/he does not create any conscious
interruption to reading. S/he does not check the meaning of the words in the phone/laptop/dictionary
by halting reading and remain focused. A fluent reader tries to understand the
contextual meaning of not just individual words but the paragraphs and the
chapters as a whole. If you are reading a book, then you need to make
conceptual bridges para by para; and chapter by chapter to grasp the whole
book. If you start reading this way, uninterruptedly, you would start
developing reading fluency. This would then ultimately help you in obtaining
high band score in IELTS.
Fluency in Writing
Fluency in writing does
not simply mean to have a fast hand. I dictate you write very fast does not
amount to fluent writing. Fluent writing involves the ability of a candidate to
write on a given topic smoothly – without breaking the flow. This requires the
candidate to be an independent thinker and need to know how to organize
thoughts clearly.
Without developing fluency
generally candidates run out of time and are not able to even complete their
writing tasks. We train all our students in enhancing writing fluency. This
helps them save time for proof-reading out of the precious sixty minutes
assigned for writing. They can correct spelling and grammar mistakes and
ultimately maximize their score during proof-reading.
One can develop fluency in
listening by enhancing exposure to English listening. Many students demonstrate
the tendency to pause / replay the track during the IELST listening practice. This
signifies inadequate exposure to listening English. Hence one needs to enhance
English listening exposure to enhance fluency in listening. This can be done by
watching English news channels or English movies with subtitles turned OFF; listening
to English songs as per the interest of the individual.
