Improving Fluency - Lesson 1

Take Notes!

Take notes of some of the following fillers you could use in converstation or scroll back on your device

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

Think Aloud

• I really don't know what to say...
• I was following the question until....
• I really don't know where to start
• What part of the question should I answer first...?

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
