dc.description | As teachers, we usually find students in the classroom that have good English foundations. They already know grammar structures, vocabulary, and they are able to write short phrases or paragraphs, but at the moment to speak, they do not seem to have developed good fluency in speaking, even after studying English for several years. This lack of oral fluency tends to be a problem for English learners and teachers since this situation makes the communication unsuccessful because the interaction is interrupted by a lot pauses and hesitations. That is why, the present study looks for a better application of the available resources in the learning, teaching, and the development of fluency in the English classes through the application of four techniques during 8 weeks in two groups of Universidad del Atlantico. The techniques selected for the intervention were selected taking into account he features of each group. All this with the purpose to explore what techniques for fluency development can be more beneficial for A1 students in the context of a Colombian Caribbean outreach EFL program. These techniques selected were: fluency circle, role plays, the 4/3/2 technique and storytelling with picture. After making this initial intervention as piloting experience, we can say that there is not a standardized technique to improve the fluency level in a global way, however, we identified the aspects that can make a technique to be successful to improve students’ fluency. | es_ES |
