"How to be fluent in English
"WHY is it that most of
those who even have a master's degree in English find
it difficult to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings
in fluent spoken English, though they do it without
much difficult in written English?
"Prof. Kev Nair, an eminent
scholar of international repute and a renowned English
language lexicographer, goes into this question in depth
and comes up with clear answers in Fluentzy,
a series of twenty definitive books on the subject authored
by him. These 20 self-study books, as a set, constitute
a dedicated system of fluency building. This fluency-building
system is highly popular among advanced learners in
over 45 countries around the world.
"The first book in the series
is Idea Units and Fluency.
This book gets your fluency-building efforts off to
a non-nonsense start in the right direction, so that
you don't have to worry about any wasted efforts. The
second book, Speech Generation
& Flow Production, shows how the principles
of speech generation can help you keep up an easy flow
of spontaneous speech.
"The next title, Packing
of Information, teaches you methodically how
to pack meaning and content into speech the way native
speakers of English do. The title Impromptu
Speech Flow Techniques helps you learn quickly
and easily how to organise word clusters in the most
useful and effective way and carry on a spontaneous
speech. Fluency and Moment-to-moment
Speech Production teaches you in a systematic
way the techniques of building speech from moment to
moment as you speak along. The next book, Key
Speech Initiators and Speech Unit Patterns,
helps you master speech-initiators and speech-unit patterns
quickly and easily. The title Fluency
in Asking Questions is devoted entirely to the
role of questions in fluent speech and fluency training.
Three of the books in the series focus on training your
organs of speech. Teaching
your Tongue and Speech Rhythm deals with how
to train your speech organ and reach higher levels of
fluency. Fluency and Pronunciation
helps you get a command of such of those elements of
pronunciation as have to do with fluency. Fluency
Building and Mouth Gymnastics deals with skill-building
techniques that can really get your organs of speech
to over-come the pressures of the English language on
them. How to Deal with Hesitations
is a book on hesitation management.
"The title Oral
Training in Fluency Vocabulary comes in three
volumes. They concentrate on training you thoroughly
in techniques of vocabulary-manipulation during spontaneous
speech production. Two volumes of Fluency
in Functional English help speakers achieve
the skill of being able to say the right thing in the
right social and career contexts. Two volumes of Fluency
in Topicwise English help you widen your fluency
range. These two books help you master the word clusters
that would help you handle important everyday topics
with fluency. Fluency in
Speaking about People helps you master the semantic
and syntactic resources needed to achieve fluency in
speaking about people and their behaviour, attitudes,
intelligence, personality, traits, feelings and emotions.
Fluency in Telephone English
& Sectoral English teaches you how to be
fluent over the phone."
