plays, or any other piece of spoken
language.
 Fluency - refers to how
“smoothly” and “efficiently” a
second language (L2) speaker can
speak on “a range of topics in real
time”. It comes from the Latin
word fluentem meaning ‘to flow.’
 4 Criteria in
checking Fluency:
 PAUSING - is the way the
speaker’s voice is guided by
punctuation (e.g. short breath at
a comma; full stop with voice
going down at periods and up at
question marks; full stop at
dashes).
1. I lost / my math book.
2. She could have / the tv / all
to herself.
3. Mom wanted John / to
watch his sister / while she
cleaned the house.
PHRASING – it is the way
speakers put words
together in groups to
represent the meaningful
units of language.
My big brother
loves to read
books about
animals.
 Along came a spider / and
sat down / beside her / and
frightened / Miss Muffet
away //
 STRESS - refers to the
emphasis speakers place on
particular words (louder
tone) to reflect the
meaning.

 INTONATION - refers to the
way the reader varies the
voice in tone, pitch and
volume to reflect the meaning
of the text—sometimes called
expression.
 Intonation falls on
statements: “I want to
travel to the Bahamas.”
 Intonation rises on
yes/no questions: “Do
you want to go with
me?”
 Intonation rises then
falls on wh- questions:
“Where do you want to
go?”
 Correctness - addressing
your intended audience in an
appropriate manner with
accuracy and free from
errors or grammatically
correct.

and then made
dessert.
Matt like fish.
Anna and Pat are
married; he has
been together for
20 years.

is mostly determined by
diction or the words that an
author chooses.
