Abstract:

Second language (L2) fluency is an exciting and fast-moving field of research,
with clear practical applications in language teaching. This book provides a
lively overview of the current advances in the field of L2 fluency, and
connects the theory to practice, presenting a hands-on approach to using
fluency research across a range of different language-related professions. The
authors introduce an innovative multidisciplinary perspective, which brings
together research into cognitive and social factors, to understand fluency as
a dynamic variable in language performance, connecting learner-internal
factors such as speech processing and automaticity, to external factors such
as task demands, language testing, and pragmatic interactional demands in
communication. Bringing a much-needed multidisciplinary and novel approach to
understanding the complex nature of L2 speech fluency, this book provides
researchers, students and language professionals with both the theoretical
insights and practical tools required to understand and research how fluency
in a second language develops.

1. Introduction; 2. Fluency from a psycholinguistic perspective; 3. Measuring
fluency; 4. Fluency in L2 task-based research; 5. Fluency in second language
pedagogy; 6. Fluency in second language testing; 7. Fluency in different
contexts; 8. Conclusion.
