Abstract |
|
|
| English was and has been taught in Saudi Arabia as a serious foreign language and this can be attributed to the fact that it has been attached to the learning and teaching in the Saudi Arabia teaching system. Fluency was a term that has almost been ignored in the traditional way of learning EFL in Saudi Arabia. There are no speaking activities for practising and improving fluency in class, and there is less syllabus and curriculum support, or even no supported processes for the guiding of fluency development. Typically, the EFL learners are mostly informed by their fluency accomplishment in an official English language expertise test. EFL tutoring has changed from the typical grammar-based model to communicative language teaching techniques in Saudi Arabia (Paquot, Grafmiller & Szmrecsanyi, 2017). The problem with the current Saudi Arabia EFL teaching model is that it is more based on understanding more vocabulary and grammar instead of focusing on fluency. This paper will focus on the most perfect plan in improving the state of English teaching in Saudi Arabia in accordance with the New Zealand way of teaching where EFL learning is mostly focused on improving the fluency of the learners. |
