Boost Your Speaking Fluency with “4–3–2”
A simple fluency activity
Fluency is the ability to “[make] the best use of what is already known” (Nation, 2014:11).
To become more fluent, you don’t need to learn more language. You need to practice using the English that you have already learned, no matter how limited it might be. I explained this in my previous article.
But how exactly can you do this?
In this article, I’ll show you a simple fluency activity called “4–3–2” and explain how it can help you improve your speaking fluency.
It’s easy, it’s short and you can even do it every day on your own.
The original version of “4–3–2” should be done in a group of 4 people, so you would need to have 3 friends who would like to do it with you.
If you don’t have 3 friends who are learning English, no worries, you can adapt “4–3–2” so you can do it by yourself.
“4–3–2” explained
“4–3–2” is a speaking activity that requires you to give the same talk to a different person with less time to do it each time.
