Abstract

Developing speaking skills in a foreign language represents the main goal of learning the language. Unlike written communication, speaking requires special processing skills. How to develop speaking fluency in a foreign language has represented a concern for linguists and didactic specialists over recent decades as a result of the rapid expansion in the use of English as a medium for global communication. Communication is a complex process and a superior intellectual activity which could either establish a new rapport between the initiator and the recipient or spoil it. The current paper aims at exploring the issue of fluency in a foreign language, targeting the non-linguistic variables that often represent an obstacle for EFL students in developing speaking fluency a challenging goal for teachers and students alike.
