Effective Methods to Develop L2 Oral Fluency in a Korean EFL Online Context
Despite being taught the English language all throughout their education, many students in South Korea struggle to grasp a basic command in conversational English. In addition, the worldwide pandemic has virtually shifted most learning to remote settings which adds to the complexity of pedagogy and effective practice. This presentation (literature review) will address a span of current and longstanding scholarly sources regarding L2 fluency with additional insights from personal practice. It will critically examine the main pedagogies used in South Korea in respect to building L2 oral fluency. Also, it will demonstrate key components for developing L2 oral fluency and how it may complement within a Korean EFL online context. Lastly, the presentation will offer recommendations and implications that can better serve Korean EFL learners of multiple age groups. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
