What if I told you there was a hidden secret that your English teachers never

5370
00:06
told you about a secret that would help you finally speak English fluently?
1
6093
4680
00:11
What if I told you about the fluency panion?
2
11403
3720
00:15
This right here is the framework.
3
15663
1860
00:17
You need to finally speak English fluently, and I am
4
17523
3600
00:21
going to break it down for you.
5
21123
1740
00:23
Are you ready?
6
23403
720
00:24
Well then I'm teacher Tiffany.
7
24993
2370
00:27
Let's jump right in.
8
27423
2280
00:30
Now, the Fluency Companion is a framework that is broken down into three levels.
9
30003
5070
00:35
These levels will help you finally speak English fluently.
10
35283
3600
00:39
Let's start with level one.
11
39243
1889
00:41
Level one is all about giving three details about the topic.
12
41403
5875
00:47
At this foundational level, the focus is on providing basic,
13
47943
4920
00:52
factual information about a subject.
14
52923
3690
00:56
This is something that you as an English learner must master in order
15
56883
5640
01:02
to use this framework properly.
16
62523
1950
01:04
You have to start with level one.
17
64533
1770
01:06
So why is this so important?
18
66573
1770
01:08
Level one, giving details about the topic first, it's so important because.
19
68883
5640
01:15
It helps you develop clear and concise communication skills.
20
75183
5730
01:21
In order for you to speak English fluently, you have to speak
21
81183
3390
01:24
clearly and in a concise manner.
22
84633
2850
01:28
This level, level one also is important because it builds essential
23
88173
5010
01:33
vocabulary related to specific topics.
24
93183
4080
01:37
Have you ever been in a situation and felt like, ah, I just can't think of a word.
25
97473
5369
01:43
Level one will help you and you won't experience this anymore.
26
103638
4290
01:48
And finally, the third reason why this level is so important
27
108498
3270
01:51
is it creates a strong foundation for more complex discussions.
28
111798
6870
01:58
So we have level one giving three details about a topic.
29
118758
4200
02:03
What does this actually look like?
30
123078
2190
02:05
Here we go.
31
125538
660
02:06
Let's imagine someone asks you this question.
32
126498
2580
02:09
What is your favorite hobby?
33
129588
2100
02:11
And your simple answer might be, my favorite hobby is playing the guitar.
34
131928
5070
02:17
Well, remember we are talking about level one of the framework, the
35
137358
4830
02:22
fluency, panion framework, and level one is all about giving three details.
36
142188
5970
02:28
So let's expand our answer.
37
148158
2400
02:30
Again, my favorite hobby is playing guitar detail number one.
38
150708
5130
02:36
Practice guitar for two hours daily detail number two, own three different
39
156678
6060
02:42
acoustic guitars and detail Number three, learned through online tutorials.
40
162738
6480
02:49
You see I gave three details that connect to my response.
41
169548
5010
02:54
Remember, we're looking at level one of our fluency panion level,
42
174678
5880
03:00
one of the fluency panion framework.
43
180558
2520
03:03
So what will our response look like now that we have three details?
44
183512
4741
03:08
Here's the combined response.
45
188313
2280
03:11
My favorite hobby is playing guitar.
46
191192
3121
03:14
I practice for two hours daily on three different acoustic guitars
47
194673
5010
03:19
and learn through online tutorials.
48
199863
3000
03:23
What happened?
49
203792
780
03:25
I gave you three details and all of a sudden my simple response.
50
205412
5581
03:31
Turned into a much better response.
51
211338
3120
03:34
Remember, we're speaking about the fluency panion, and we're looking
52
214548
4260
03:38
at level one giving three details.
53
218808
4200
03:43
So that response was really good, but does it really apply to every situation?
54
223068
5820
03:48
Let's check out this next situation.
55
228888
1560
03:52
Question.
56
232013
160
03:52
What type of movies do you enjoy?
57
232818
3090
03:56
Simple answer.
58
236313
960
03:57
I'm a big fan of science fiction films.
59
237813
3450
04:01
Now that's a good answer, but it's also a basic or beginner level answer.
60
241353
6480
04:08
So again, looking at level one, how can we add three details?
61
248043
5520
04:13
Here we go.
62
253563
750
04:14
Detail number one, watch science films or science fiction films.
63
254553
6420
04:21
Weekly detail number two.
64
261063
1980
04:23
Have a collection of 50 plus movies and detail number three,
65
263568
4469
04:28
prefer movies with special effects.
66
268457
3241
04:31
Again, what are we doing at level one of our framework, the fluency?
67
271878
5039
04:36
Panion, we are giving three details related to the question and or
68
276948
4829
04:41
topic that is being discussed.
69
281777
1200
04:44
So what will our combined response now look like with these
70
284207
4440
04:48
additional pieces of information?
71
288647
1710
04:50
Here's the combined response.
72
290897
1981
04:53
I'm a big fan of science fiction films.
73
293358
2820
04:56
I watch them weekly, and I have built a collection of over 50 movies.
74
296298
4979
05:01
I particularly enjoy movies with special effects.
75
301893
4710
05:06
What happened?
76
306783
870
05:08
I added three details and all of a sudden my simple response
77
308283
4200
05:12
became a much better response.
78
312573
2250
05:15
Keep in mind though, we are still at level one.
79
315003
4860
05:19
Oh, I can't wait until we get to level three.
80
319923
2310
05:22
We're giving three details based on level one of our framework.
81
322833
4470
05:27
But does it really work for every situation?
82
327813
2340
05:30
Here's another example again, using level one.
83
330483
3900
05:34
Here's the question.
84
334623
959
05:36
What's your ideal vacation?
85
336332
2731
05:39
Simple response.
86
339393
1260
05:40
My ideal vacation would be a beach destination in Thailand.
87
340832
4471
05:45
Great response, but also a basic and beginner level response.
88
345633
5310
05:51
But we want to add three details based on our framework detail.
89
351093
4770
05:55
Number one, beach destination in Thailand.
90
355863
3390
05:59
Detail number two, two week, duration and detail.
91
359823
4170
06:03
Number three, a budget of $3,000.
92
363993
2910
06:07
Again, details are just pieces of information connected to the
93
367772
4320
06:12
topic or connected to the question.
94
372092
2041
06:14
We added three details, so now we have the information.
95
374462
5041
06:19
What does our combined response now?
96
379893
3689
06:24
Look like.
97
384153
600
06:24
Here's the combined response.
98
384813
2280
06:27
My ideal vacation would be a beach destination in Thailand.
99
387513
4170
06:31
I'd like to stay for two weeks, and I've set aside a budget of $3,000 for the trip.
100
391953
7650
06:40
Now that's a good response.
101
400173
3030
06:43
Again, following the framework, level one, we have three details.
102
403263
6660
06:49
All right?
103
409953
420
06:50
Three details.
104
410373
840
06:52
We understand now the importance of level one, but now we need to
105
412068
4410
06:56
move on to level two, level two of our framework, the fluency panion.
106
416478
5940
07:02
Now we're going to understand the importance of personal
107
422628
2580
07:05
opinions and reasons, so let's dive into our second level.
108
425208
5620
07:12
Personal opinion and three reasons.
109
432423
3510
07:16
This intermediate level encourages you to focus on form and express personal
110
436232
7321
07:23
viewpoints with supporting arguments.
111
443553
4109
07:27
This is where things start to get really interesting.
112
447782
3690
07:31
Level one, the basic level of our framework is all about giving facts.
113
451863
5580
07:37
Now level two of our framework is all about giving your opinion, your thoughts,
114
457968
5100
07:43
your ideas, and supporting your opinion.
115
463098
3900
07:47
So let's see why this is so important.
116
467508
2730
07:50
Here's the first reason why this is important.
117
470688
2159
07:53
It develops critical thinking and analytical skills.
118
473448
4409
07:58
You as an English learner, your goal is to speak English fluently and
119
478188
3750
08:01
you're searching for ways to do this.
120
481938
1890
08:03
When you follow this framework, you'll be able to develop your
121
483948
4680
08:08
critical thinking skills, which will lead to English fluency.
122
488628
3690
08:13
The second reason why this second level, the intermediate level of
123
493037
3990
08:17
our framework is so important is.
124
497027
1890
08:19
It enhances your ability to construct logical arguments.
125
499457
5101
08:24
This is good.
126
504707
841
08:25
Why learn how to support your opinion?
127
505608
3570
08:29
And number three.
128
509928
1349
08:32
It will improve your confidence in expressing your personal views in English.
129
512298
6420
08:38
Confidence is key.
130
518778
1620
08:40
So level two of our framework, the Fluency Penon framework, is all about
131
520398
4770
08:45
you giving your personal opinion and supporting it with three reasons.
132
525168
3900
08:49
So what does this look like?
133
529068
1740
08:50
Imagine someone asked you the exact same question.
134
530808
2880
08:54
What's your favorite hobby, and you gave this response, your opinion?
135
534233
4440
08:59
I believe playing guitar is the most rewarding hobby.
136
539122
3660
09:03
Then you stop.
137
543622
721
09:05
Your opinion is, I believe playing guitar is the most rewarding
138
545183
3719
09:08
hobby, but you have to support it.
139
548902
2461
09:11
Now we have to give three reasons.
140
551363
3060
09:14
Reason number one, it helps reduce stress and anxiety.
141
554423
4079
09:18
Reason number two, it allows for creative self-expression.
142
558983
4019
09:23
And reason number three, it creates opportunities to connect with others.
143
563508
5910
09:29
All of a sudden, we are going deeper.
144
569598
3120
09:33
All of a sudden we're getting more information to support.
145
573318
5070
09:39
Our opinion, this is leading us to a more fluent English response.
146
579423
6120
09:45
So what would the combined response look like with our opinion?
147
585603
4260
09:50
And three reasons.
148
590013
1860
09:51
Here's the combined response.
149
591903
1770
09:54
I believe playing guitar is the most rewarding hobby
150
594303
3360
09:57
because it helps reduce stress.
151
597723
1860
09:59
And anxiety allows for creative self-expression and creates
152
599867
5461
10:05
opportunities to connect with others.
153
605328
3960
10:09
Listen, if you are preparing for an exam, maybe the IEL exam or toefl,
154
609407
4381
10:14
any English exam, you're going to have to be able to respond by supporting
155
614147
4980
10:19
your re with reasons, supporting your ideas, supporting your thoughts.
156
619127
4471
10:23
This framework, again, helps you.
157
623777
2250
10:26
So we saw the combined response had three reasons and the opinion, can it really be
158
626418
6900
10:33
applied to any topic in these situation?
159
633318
2280
10:36
What about this question we had earlier?
160
636078
1890
10:38
What type of movies do you enjoy?
161
638448
2460
10:41
Simple Response.
162
641448
1110
10:42
I strongly believe that science fiction films are the most
163
642648
3900
10:46
thought provoking movies.
164
646548
2069
10:49
That's a strong opinion.
165
649518
1290
10:51
It's your opinion, but that's a strong opinion.
166
651273
2310
10:53
Now you have to support it with what?
167
653733
2310
10:56
Three reasons.
168
656763
1620
10:58
Again, remember, what are we doing?
169
658413
1800
11:00
We're using the framework, the fluency opinion framework, and we're on
170
660213
4830
11:05
level two, the intermediate level, personal opinion, and three reasons.
171
665103
5580
11:10
So we've supported our opinion with these three reasons.
172
670683
4439
11:15
Reason number one, they explore potential future scenarios.
173
675453
4169
11:19
Reason number two, they challenge our understanding of reality.
174
679998
4350
11:24
And reason number three, they often address current social issues.
175
684738
4560
11:29
So I've stated my personal opinion and I've also given three
176
689418
4920
11:34
reasons to support my opinion.
177
694338
3210
11:37
Makes sense, right?
178
697878
1020
11:39
So now what would the combined response now look like?
179
699288
4140
11:43
Here's the combined response.
180
703458
1590
11:45
I strongly believe that science fiction films are the most thought
181
705858
3690
11:49
provoking movies because they explore potential future scenarios, challenge
182
709548
5370
11:54
our understanding of reality, and often address current social issues.
183
714918
5850
12:00
Listen to me, I want you to understand how powerful this framework is.
184
720798
5100
12:05
The fluency panion framework, if a student.
185
725898
3630
12:10
In my class were to give this response.
186
730608
3060
12:13
The response I just showed you.
187
733698
1559
12:15
They would get an A. They would get an A. Why?
188
735588
3090
12:18
Because they've told me their opinion and they've supported it.
189
738678
3689
12:22
Ooh, wait till we get to level three.
190
742397
1620
12:24
This is a great response, but again, can you really apply it
191
744647
3916
12:28
to any topic and any question?
192
748563
1725
12:30
Let's go to the third example.
193
750288
1380
12:32
The question again, what's your ideal vacation?
194
752583
3540
12:36
Simple response.
195
756123
1080
12:37
I'm convinced that beach destinations in Thailand offer
196
757383
3840
12:41
the best vacation experience.
197
761223
2160
12:43
That's your opinion.
198
763563
900
12:44
Honestly, I like Thailand.
199
764733
1470
12:46
It's true.
200
766233
600
12:47
I've never been there before, but they're food.
201
767073
1620
12:48
Come on, gimme some Thai food any day.
202
768693
2940
12:51
Very true.
203
771783
570
12:52
So this person is saying, Hey, in my opinion, beach destinations
204
772473
5040
12:57
in Thailand offer the best vacation reason to number one.
205
777513
3510
13:01
The local culture is incredibly welcoming.
206
781578
2520
13:04
Reason number two, the cuisine offers unique flavors.
207
784608
3480
13:08
And reason number three, the natural scenery is breathtaking.
208
788088
4410
13:12
You are recognizing what's happening, right?
209
792768
2160
13:15
We're on level two of our framework.
210
795468
2130
13:18
A personal opinion was given and three reasons to support
211
798048
4440
13:22
that opinion were also given.
212
802488
1620
13:24
So now how do we turn this into a combined response?
213
804108
4530
13:29
Check out this combined response.
214
809013
2520
13:32
I'm convinced that beach destinations in Thailand offer the best vacation
215
812313
4890
13:37
experience because the local culture is incredibly welcoming.
216
817203
3780
13:41
The cuisine offers unique flavors, and the natural scenery is breathtaking.
217
821493
6360
13:48
You are going to get an A. If you give this response in my class,
218
828183
4800
13:53
you are going to get an A. Why?
219
833043
1920
13:54
Because you follow the second level of the framework.
220
834963
3420
13:58
Level two, the intermediate level, personal opinion, and three reasons.
221
838863
6240
14:05
Now we have to get to level three.
222
845283
3150
14:09
Level three, they're building on each other.
223
849033
2520
14:12
Level.
224
852003
420
14:12
One, you're giving three details.
225
852423
1830
14:14
Level two, you're giving your personal opinion and three reasons.
226
854283
3540
14:17
Level three, the third level of our framework, the fluency panion framework
227
857913
5820
14:23
is where things really start to get.
228
863883
2610
14:26
Good.
229
866793
450
14:27
So level three of our framework is all about personal experiences.
230
867363
6480
14:34
And the five Ws.
231
874593
1350
14:35
So the advanced level focuses on detailed storytelling using the who,
232
875943
6150
14:42
what, when, where, and why framework.
233
882183
4140
14:46
Now, if you've been with me for any amount of time, you have heard me speak
234
886413
5220
14:51
about the five Ws and how powerful they are, who, what, when, where, and why.
235
891633
5100
14:57
And the third level of our now fluency PAN framework utilizes the five W's method.
236
897118
6690
15:03
So why is this level so important?
237
903898
2220
15:06
Before we get into the examples?
238
906118
1710
15:08
The first reason this level is important.
239
908188
1830
15:10
It strengthens your narrative skills and your use of descriptive language.
240
910678
7110
15:17
My friend, I believe in you.
241
917788
2610
15:20
I believe that you have the ability to speak English fluently.
242
920698
3660
15:25
You just have to believe in yourself, and you also have to properly apply
243
925008
4650
15:29
this framework, giving you the ability to use descriptive language.
244
929838
4680
15:34
Reason number two, it develops your ability to share experiences
245
934518
5040
15:39
in a structured way following a structure, so the person listening
246
939738
4650
15:44
to you can follow along as you speak.
247
944388
3420
15:47
And reason number three.
248
947808
1080
15:49
It enhances memory recall and organization of thoughts in English.
249
949758
6540
15:56
This is so important on your journey to speaking English fluently.
250
956388
4080
16:00
You have to be able to remember things and also organize your thoughts in English.
251
960468
6330
16:06
So what does this look like?
252
966858
1740
16:08
Example number one question.
253
968598
2280
16:11
What's your favorite hobby?
254
971418
1355
16:13
Answer, let me tell you about my experience with playing guitar.
255
973563
5250
16:19
You see how I'm naturally leading into my personal experience, but I need the
256
979323
5640
16:24
five Ws, who, what, when, where, and why.
257
984963
2370
16:27
Who?
258
987693
450
16:29
My guitar teacher, Sarah, and I, what had my first public performance
259
989223
6030
16:35
at a local coffee shop when last summer, on a busy Saturday evening.
260
995253
5160
16:40
Where the acoustic corner, a popular venue downtown and why to overcome
261
1000953
6689
16:47
stage fright and share my progress.
262
1007642
3240
16:51
So we have listed each piece of information to answer one of the Ws.
263
1011032
6451
16:57
Each of the WS has a piece of information attached to it.
264
1017543
3030
17:01
Remember, we are looking at level three of our framework,
265
1021353
4050
17:05
the fluency PANION framework.
266
1025403
1619
17:07
So how can we turn this into a combined response?
267
1027562
5190
17:12
So here's the response.
268
1032963
2279
17:15
Last summer, my guitar teacher Sarah, encouraged me to perform at the Acoustic
269
1035992
4471
17:20
Corner, a popular coffee shop downtown.
270
1040492
2640
17:23
On a busy Saturday evening, I played three songs for the audience, though nervous.
271
1043612
5881
17:29
This experience helped me overcome my stage fright and showed me how
272
1049868
5640
17:35
far I'd come in my musical journey.
273
1055508
3630
17:40
Did you see the story play out?
274
1060158
2850
17:43
Who, what, when, where, and why?
275
1063638
1560
17:45
When did it happen?
276
1065198
930
17:46
Who was there when this.
277
1066158
2250
17:48
Is all you need.
278
1068708
2100
17:51
This framework will help you get to the level where you can tell a story
279
1071018
4830
17:55
and include each of the five Ws.
280
1075998
2520
17:58
Okay?
281
1078638
660
17:59
What about this situation?
282
1079568
1770
18:02
What type of movies do you enjoy?
283
1082688
3570
18:06
Initial response, let me share a memorable experience with science fiction movie.
284
1086288
5760
18:12
So I'm leading right into the story.
285
1092048
3000
18:15
Right, but we need who, what, when, where, and why.
286
1095423
3690
18:19
So who?
287
1099113
1200
18:21
My friends from the sci-fi club and I what attended a midnight
288
1101153
5670
18:26
premiere of a major sci-fi film When?
289
1106823
3510
18:30
During the winter break last year.
290
1110783
2700
18:34
Where?
291
1114683
300
18:35
At the IMAX theater Downtown.
292
1115433
2850
18:39
And why to experience the film with fellow enthusiasts.
293
1119123
5010
18:44
Alright, so we have a lot of information organized, but it was
294
1124373
4380
18:48
easy to organize it because once again, we follow the framework.
295
1128783
4380
18:53
And the framework for level three is.
296
1133163
2400
18:55
Personal experience and then who, what, when, where, and why
297
1135833
3690
18:59
we've organized the information.
298
1139523
2130
19:01
During last year's winter break, my sci-fi Club friends and I attended a midnight
299
1141655
5160
19:06
premier at the downtown IMAX Theater.
300
1146815
2550
19:09
It was a major sci-fi film and we wanted to experience the
301
1149575
3600
19:13
film with fellow enthusiasts.
302
1153175
2250
19:15
This experience perfectly captures why I love being part of the sci-fi community.
303
1155605
6210
19:22
What happened, each of the five Ws, who, what, when, where, and
304
1162430
4440
19:26
why can be found in that response given your personal experience.
305
1166870
4170
19:31
But what about the third question?
306
1171040
2130
19:33
What's your ideal vacation initial response?
307
1173890
4470
19:38
Let me tell you about a memorable trip to Thailand.
308
1178690
4170
19:43
Simple response, but now we have to add in who, what, when, where, and why.
309
1183730
4890
19:48
Here we go.
310
1188620
720
19:49
Who my best friend and I, what explored hidden beaches and local markets
311
1189430
7590
19:57
when during the dry season last year, where Lanta a peaceful tie island.
312
1197020
5580
20:02
Why to experience authentic Thai culture and relax.
313
1202750
4410
20:07
Each of the five Ws has been added.
314
1207400
2610
20:10
We're speaking about a personal experience, but what would the
315
1210655
2910
20:13
combined response actually look like?
316
1213565
3000
20:16
Here's the combined response.
317
1216625
2070
20:19
Last year during the dry season, my best friend and I discovered the hidden
318
1219385
4530
20:23
gems of Lanta, a peaceful Thai island.
319
1223915
3240
20:27
We spent our days exploring hidden beaches and browsing local markets.
320
1227185
4350
20:32
Our goal was to experience authentic Thai culture while also taking time to relax.
321
1232120
7980
20:40
That was an advanced English response.
322
1240220
3660
20:43
Why?
323
1243970
480
20:44
Because we used the framework, the fluency panion framework.
324
1244450
4620
20:49
Giving your personal experience, including who, what, when, where, and why.
325
1249535
3930
20:53
We went over each of the levels using this fluency panion.
326
1253795
5130
20:58
Now, if you want to continue studying using this framework and you would like
327
1258925
4020
21:02
