Developing speaking fluency is a key objective of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to young learners. Primary school pupils often experience difficulties because of limited vocabulary, low confidence, and insufficient communicative practice. This paper examines the effectiveness of interactive and multisensory activities in improving speaking fluency. The study assumes that children
learn more effectively when visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and communicative elements are integrated into instruction.
