Percepts of Fluency and the Prospects in Teaching

Abstract

Finding the best strategy or a method for improving or developing fluency seems as conflicting as framing universal grammar of languages. This paper focuses on understanding that in what way and to what extent the achievement of fluency in Language is different from the acquisition of language and proposes that the process of transformation of ideas and mental images into a language play a vital role in achieving fluency. The results of a critical analysis of the theories of generative linguistics and universal grammar, proposed by Chomsky, and of psycholinguistics are brought forth for making definitive conclusions on the achievement of fluency. In addition, it explicates the process of foregrounding the surface structures as a natural phenomenon in the process of achieving fluency and proceeds to demonstrate an improvised strategy for developing fluency in combination with the theories of Skinner and Ogden Lindsley.
