Tips to Improve Fluency

• Think aloud
• Start speaking, then think about what you are going to say
• Fill silence
• Send the turn back
• Use words from your language, then explain them
• Use vague language

Start speaking....then think

• In my limited experience....
• Off the top of my head...
• The first thing that springs to mind....
• From my point of view....

Fill the silence

• uuuhm...
• eeer....
• That's a difficult/unusual/interesting question...

Send the turn Back

• I'm not sure what....means
• Do you mean.....?
• Just to double check....do you mean...?
• Can you give me an example of what you mean?

Use words from your language/explain

• I don't know how to say in English....and then explain

• There is an expression in my language.....

• 
  

Use Vague language

• I suppose...
• you could say....
• thing.....stuff.... thingy.....whatsit.....whats-his-name

Now for practical speaking

Where will you need to speak English?

Can you think of any sentences you would need when asking for something?

Good morning, how may I help you?

Sure, when are you staying here?

Okay, how many people?

We have a room available. How would you like to pay?

Good morning, I would like to book a room please.

From the 8th of March to the 11th of March. 

Two. We would like single beds please. 

I would like to pay by card please.

In duo's or alone, write your own script of booking a hotel room. 

Include:

The number of people

the price

The dates

etc.

Optional for an extra challenge:

add something that goes  "wrong" while booking. Solve the problem.

for example: they don't have a room for 4 people.

Speaking practice

Name one 'filler' that
you used in the discussion
