Teachers who concentrate on accuracy help their students to produce
grammatically correct written and spoken English, ideally aiming towards
the accuracy of a native speaker of similar age and background. The
emphasis in the classroom will be on grammar presentations and
exercises, reading comprehension and suchlike.
Fluency = vlotheid.
A fluent speaker, on the other hand, may well make grammatical errors
but will speak or write efficiently (without pauses). They will be able to
converse freely and talk with native-speakers about many different
subjects. Fluency generally increases as learner’s progress and become
more comfortable using the language. Language teachers who
concentrate on fluency help their students to express themselves in
English. They pay more attention to meaning and context and are less
concerned with grammatical errors. Typical fluency activities are role
playing and more communicative activities where English is used as a
medium of communication rather than an end in itself.
The overall importance of vocabulary: particularly for reading
comprehension.
