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 skillsen-USEste documento es Propiedad Patrimonial de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas.
