Abstract

Oral proficiency is a critical skill in learning English, encompassing the verbal expression of thoughts and ideas. This study, “Speaking Fluently and Coherently: The IELTS Way,†explores the effectiveness of the IELTS program in addressing speaking fluency and coherence issues among Education students. Utilizing an action research design with a Dual Method approach, integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, the study investigates the impact of IELTS on students’ language proficiency. Results indicate significant improvements in themes such as Improved Clarity and Control, Reduced Stuttering, Continuing Improvement, and Natural Flow of Thoughts. These themes have implications for language proficiency and performance, highlighting the importance of articulation, fluency, and ongoing development. The study recommends targeted instructional strategies, interactive communication activities, and formative assessment to address identified challenges. Overall, the research underscores the holistic nature of language proficiency development and the effectiveness of the IELTS program in enhancing English speaking fluency.
