Abstract

Summary

Introduction

The last few decades have witnessed an ample amount of research on teaching English to speakers of other languages. It has been surmised that if learners attend to form within communicative practice, they obtain information concerning language form by means of form-meaning connection and use it for expressing messages In this regard, the integration of form-focused instruction and content-based instruction within literature-based classroom discussions creates some of the strongest rationales for grammatical accuracy development and productive use of the target language in which learners engage in more interaction and provide more language output in meaningful communicative contexts. The integration of form-focused instruction and content-based instruction within literature-based classroom discussions creates some of the strongest rationales for grammatical accuracy development and productive use of the target language in which learners engage in more interaction and provide more language output in meaningful communicative contexts This instructional strategy can enhance speaking accuracy and fluency of language learners. While speaking accuracy is the ability to produce error-free speech (Housen & Kuiken, 2009), speaking fluency is the ability to produce speech in a rapid and smooth way (Brand & Götz, 1981)
