Which stage of second-language acquisition follows speech emergent?

Intermediate fluency
Advanced fluency
Basic proficiency
Early production

The correct answer is: Intermediate fluency

The stage of second-language acquisition that follows the speech emergent phase is intermediate fluency. At this point, learners have developed a more extensive vocabulary and a better understanding of sentence structures, allowing them to communicate more effectively and with greater detail. They can express opinions, share experiences, and engage in longer conversations, although they may still make some grammatical errors. This stage sees a significant increase in fluency and the ability to manipulate language creatively and contextually, which builds upon the foundational skills established during earlier stages, including speech emergent. Understanding this progression is essential for educators to tailor their instructional strategies to support learners' growth in language proficiency, ensuring they are appropriately challenged and engaged.
