                When I looked up the word use the definition given was that to employ for a given purpose or put into action. In contrast the word usage is the way, the language is actually used. The words accuracy and fluency I decided to define in terms of teaching techniques in where accuracy is mostly used in teaching a new item so that students achieve accurate perception. Versus fluency which is used when something has already been taught and they already know about the topic in which students practice to develop fluency or ease in that area. Finally, functional syllabus is a variability of context sensitiveness within a language function. The functional syllabus stresses on the effects of the verbal action. Different to the structural syllabus which focuses on the verbal action of the participants because it is a variability of a language function within a language form.
