There´s no doubt that English is a time language,therefore i normally set a time limit while my students are reading a paragraph or a passage of a giving text.They realize this exercise help them improve their fluency.
After reading the “CONTENT WORDS”and”FUNCTIONS WORDS” stuff. We put it into practice and we saw that our accent improved a great deal.
