language-fluency

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Language-fluency' goes beyond just knowing a language. It's about understanding and using the language elegantly, effectively and without effort in all forms - speaking, reading, writing and listening.

Examples in Different Contexts

In recruitment, 'language fluency' is often a requirement for positions that involve communication in multiple languages. A recruiter might state, 'Candidates must demonstrate language fluency in both English and Spanish for this customer service role.'

Practice Scenarios

Academics

Scenario:

The research project on indigenous history requires us to go through archives of local ancient texts. The content is in a language that is not widely spoken now.

Response:

I see, so we'll need fluency in this ancient language to interpret the texts correctly for our research.

Public-Policy

Scenario:

Our initiative is aimed to maximize community participation. Being inclusive of different language-speaking groups is crucial.

Response:

That makes sense. Perhaps we should have team members who demonstrate language-fluency in those languages for better outreach.
