Fluency and coherence
Keep going, link ideas, and repair mistakes instead of freezing.
Lesson
- Fluency is about speed and hesitation, but also about making sense from start to finish.
- Learn a few flexible fillers that are not empty: “The main reason is…”, “A good example is…”
- Self-correct quickly: “he go- he goes to night school.” That is better than stopping.
- Pronunciation scoring includes word stress and chunking, not a native accent.
