Default Re: fluency versus accuracy

I deal with a lot of advanced level students who have fluency, but lack accuracy. Also when most of our corporate clients complain about their employees' English, they are purely looking at grammar mistakes.

In my own materials, I always use the word 'accuracy' rather than 'grammar' to try to promote the idea of learning to use grammar fluently in context, if that makes any sense.
