Quasi-experiment with 48 first-year EFL students split into experimental and control groups of 24 each; fluency measured via recorded interviews. The post-test t-test favored the experimental group: "The t –value (8.578) was significant at (.000) level" (df 46).

"The result in Table 4 states that there is statistically significant difference between the mean scores in the post test in favor of the experimental group. The t –value (8.578) was significant at (.000) level."
