Accuracy / Fluency When you are concentrating on accuracy, you are making sure that what the students produce is grammatically correct English with correct vocabulary.

When you are concentrating on fluency, you are helping students to express themselves in English. You are not concerned with errors of grammar and vocabulary.

Typical accuracy activities: grammar presentations, fill-in exercises, frame dialogues.
Typical fluency activities: role plays, speeches, communicative activities, games.

Remember that accuracy is relative: a child in early primary isnīt capable of the same level of accuracy as an adult.
