Linguistic Focus

Accuracy | Fluency

Of course a user of a language wishes to be as accurate as possible. However, if you listen to a native speaker  there are many times when the language used is far from perfect (false starts, incomplete sentences, novel uses of words). In these cases, accuracy is being sacrificed for fluency - in other words, the language is being used to deliver a message, irrespective of the accuracy. 


The first bar below is an indication of how accuracy and fluency (in other words, the effectiveness of getting your message across compared to the accuracy of the language) are viewed during this course.


Lexical | Grammatical 

Similarly, grammatical accuracy is only part of the language learning equation. Vocabulary has a major impact on users fluency and the way in which individual words interact with one another in specific circumstances should always be taken into account.


The second bar is an indication of the weighting between lexical (vocabulary) items and grammatical items during this course.
