Hi, I'm Dr. Lara Wallace
Communication Coach and Pronunciation & Speaking Expert
After a few months into my training as an English teacher, it became clear that what my students really needed were speaking skills...
Yet, I was mainly learning how to teach grammar, reading, and writing.
It wasn't until I began tutoring that I could focus on helping people speak. And connect with others.
The looks of joy on people's faces as they told me about using in real life what I taught them and being understood were life-changing and inspiring. After all, their identities were connected to how they spoke.
Unlike teaching the other English skills, I was finally helping people feel intelligent, open doors to new opportunities, and improve their social lives by interacting with others.
This deep connection through speaking is transformative, and it is why I have dedicated over 25 years of my professional career in academics and beyond towards speaking effectively and confidently.
This isn't a collection of exercises written by AI that has you practicing a limited list of phrases until you sound fluent.
The Speaking Fluently Learning Lab takes you through a process of understanding fluency so that you can speak more fluently in your life and its specific speaking situations.
There are 4 steps to this process:
1. Understand what fluency is
Fluency is a concept that many English teachers don't actually understand! Take it from me, I've trained novice English teachers for years and have attended international conferences on teaching English with experienced teachers, and there is a lot of misunderstanding.
When you know what fluency is--and is not--as well as why it is important, you can more easily work towards your goal.
2. Analyze your speaking for fluency
There are some simple ways that you can measure and analyze your speaking for fluency. When you know where you are having difficulty, you can focus on those problem areas to save time.
3. Learn strategies for building fluency
When you struggle to speak, it is often because you need a little longer to think. There are specific strategies that you can adopt that will help you buy time to think and be better understood when you speak. Try them, practice them, and measure your progress!
4. Become fluent through practice
I always tell my clients that "Practice Makes Fluent." The way you practice determines how quickly you will become fluent. That's why you need to practice self-monitoring and buying time in efficient and relevant ways that are fun and effective.
Where did these steps come from?
Over 2 decades of mastery through:
Teaching pronunciation and speaking to speakers of other languages
Formal education: Undergrad in Spanish, Masters in Linguistics, PhD in Cultural Studies in Education
Continued professional development through attending conferences and workshops
Presenting and giving workshops at specialized pronunciation and speaking academic conferences and English teaching conferences
Training novice pronunciation and speaking tutors and teachers
Reviewing pronunciation textbooks
Publishing academic conference papers, book chapters, and newsletters (research is necessary!)
