Fluency and accuracy are two factors which determine the success of the students in the future and should be both catered for.

According to Penny Ur, a well known English Language Teaching author, students learning fluency without accuracy is one of the biggest threats. As with most things, a balanced approach is what is needed.

There is an interesting article in the ICALwiki which looks at this very topic.

Happy reading!

how a child learns his mother tongue? initially the child commits mistakes. later focus on grammar or accuracy aspects. like that let the learners to have fluency first. then they can focus on grammar aspects
