Resumen
The teaching of English as a foreign language in the secondary school is aimed at
developing an elementary level of communicative competence which will allow the
learners of this level to satisfy basic needs in social interaction, so as to contribute
to the formation of a basic general educational level in the students.
Many experts emphasize on the importance of developing speaking ability in this
level, as it is prioritized in seventh and eighth grades, and especially to teach oral
fluency which is the goal of teaching speaking.
Throughout the use of various theoretical and empirical methods it was found that
in Group 7th A at “Obdulio Morales Torres” secondary school in Zulueta, there are
problems regarding to speaking ability, mainly with fluency. Many of the students
are not able to participate in a conversation about an every day topic and
consequently, some of them are not confident about speaking and fall back into in
their mother tongue when trying to communicate orally.
That is why the aim of this paper is to propose a system of activities in order to
contribute to the development of fluency in basic oral communication skills in the
seventh grade students from “Obdulio Morales Torres” secondary school.
The system of fluency activities is the proposal of a fairly wide variety of fluency
activities, which integrates systemically as many basic speaking skills as possible
and challenges students to speak English, in order to contribute to the
development in seventh grade students of fluency in basic oral communication
skills
