Accuracy & Fluency
in ELT

Interactive Activity: Mentimeter
How are ‘accuracy’ and ‘fluency’ different?

Which one should be prioritized?
Accuracy or Fluency

In reality, accuracy and fluency are
closely related, which leads us to
the notion that accuracy as well as
fluency is necessary for
successful communication.

“A steady stream of speech which is highly
inaccurate in vocabulary, syntax,
or pronunciation could be so hard

to understand as to violate an essential aspect
of fluency being comprehensible.”
(Blevis: 2001)

On the other hand, it is possible for the
speaker to be halting but accurate. Sentence

level grammatical accuracy that violates
principles of discourse and appropriateness
is also possible, but such language would not

be truly accurate in following the
communicative rules of the target language.
