An introduction to Tijus fluency classes

Today, the need for English proficiency is becoming more relevant than ever. Whether you are studying for an international exam, looking for a job, moving abroad, or simply trying to feel secure expressing yourself at the workplace, fluency is a vital factor in accessing new opportunities. Fluency is not something that automatically occurs for most students. Common statements made by many students addressing their struggles with fluency include:

"I can understand English; however, I lack the ability to communicate fluently."

"I have difficulties finding the right words fast enough."

"I spend too much time thinking about the words that I want to say."

"I prefer to stay quiet in conversations because I worry that I will make a mistake."

All of these have an impact on many students and professionals every single day and is exactly why fluency development is becoming increasingly important.

Why fluency is becoming important

• Together with the growth of multinational work environments, companies now need employees with strong communication skills who can convey their thoughts effectively and with spontaneity when communicating in spoken and written form.
• Being fluent assists workers in the preparation of meetings, giving presentations, networking, and teamwork; all of these factors contribute to an employee's ability to advance in the workforce.
• Unlike prior years, today most international tests (IELTS, OET, PTE, etc.) are no longer solely about speaking correctly, but are also determined by an individual's level of confidence while speaking, the manner in which they pronounce their words, and whether or not they are able to speak fluidly.
• Someone who speaks fluently will naturally do better on speaking and writing tasks in comparison to those who do not speak fluently.
• Increased requirements for migration to countries such as the UK, Ireland, Australia, and Canada now require strong fluency from potential migrants. Meeting these requirements lowers test-related stress levels, resulting in increased test pass rates and ultimately providing a greater opportunity for success as a new citizen.
• When people achieve fluency, their ability to share their thoughts and ideas grows, their willingness to participate in exchanges of ideas in public and private settings increases, and they will feel more comfortable functioning within the contexts of society and business.
  
  

  How Tijus fluency training help learners

  Development through fluency training involves:

  Speaking Practice in Real-time: Work on the idea of structured speaking activity for a learner to gradually eliminate their hesitation.

  The Activation of Vocabulary: The important aspect of Fluency is the instant recall of the correct word not memorizing a word list long enough to put in a novel.

  Improvement of Pronunciation and Clarity: Minor corrections in stress, sound, and intonation make communication stronger.

  Thinking in English: A major turning point for many learners has been the transition from translation to an expression of their thoughts in English.

  Confidence Building Exercises: As learners develop fluency, they begin to speak without fear, this growth is linked to the support and feedback provided during Fluency Training.
