Many language learning tasks focus on accuracy.
These are often 'closed' exercises in which there is only one correct answer. Fluency tasks, on the other hand, are more open. At lower language levels, language teaching has traditionally emphasised accuracy, believing that fluency comes once the grammar has been mastered. In CEWw , however, both accuracy and fluency are emphasised right from the beginning. Developing fluency is important in building up the students' confidence and maintaining a sense of achievement in being able to say something meaningful.
