Fluency and coherence

Fluency and coherence constitute the ability to sustain communication through logical sequencing, appropriate pacing, and the effective use of cohesive devices. Assessment focuses on the transition from hesitant, translated speech to spontaneous, natural delivery where pauses reflect cognitive planning rather than linguistic uncertainty. Candidates must demonstrate the capacity to manipulate complex syntax to maintain a narrative thread and employ repair strategies to bridge processing gaps without disrupting the communicative flow.
