Broadly speaking, Prof. Kev Nair’s self-study books have only one aim: To help you get an invaluable skill: The skill of speaking English – with a high degree of fluency. A skill that can bring personal success and career advancement to you. Specifically, these self-study books aim —

• To help you gain the skill of dealing with hesitations while speaking English — the way native speakers of English deal with them.
• To help you convert your knowledge of everyday English vocabulary and structures into a real mastery of spontaneous speech-building skill.
• To help you get free of the urge to fall back on your mother-tongue (while you’re speaking English). And to help you gain the skill of composing what you want to say in English and to say it at the same time: The skill of producing English on your feet. Spontaneously — without prior planning or preparation.
• To train your organs of speech to work smoothly... in the way that the English language wants them to work — and to help you speak English without stumbling over the English sounds or their sequences.

Yes, these self-study books aim to help you get an excellent command of spoken English, so you might never be at a loss for fluent speech.

Spoken English fluency
By the word ‘fluency’, what Prof. Kev Nair’s self-study books mean is the skill of speaking English smoothly and continuously – without hesitation preventing you from speaking on. Yes, it’s the skill of speaking about things clearly and easily – in English that is natural, appropriate and easy to understand. Without struggling for breath or for words.

A dedicated fluency-building system
The self-directed self-study course you’d be doing with Prof. Kev Nair’s self-study books is of a unique kind. It’s not an ordinary kind of spoken English course. No. It’s a course you’ll be able to do on your own as a fluency course. Yes. As a dedicated fluency course. And its aim is not just to teach you how to make one-line statements or ask one-line questions or give one-line replies now and then. The self-study books have been written solely to help you develop and extend your fluency in spoken English — so that you don’t have to limit yourself to one-line statements or one-line questions or one-line replies, but can go ahead and speak at length and in detail about your ideas, thoughts and feelings.

Yes. Prof. Nair’s self-study books concentrate on helping you add a smooth flow to your English — whether you’re producing a short stretch of speech or a long stretch. Whether you’re discussing, explaining, narrating or describing things. Or telling stories. Or taking a stand and defending it. Or arguing. Or expressing an opinion and supporting it with grounds and reasons. You need this skill — if you want to carry on a serious conversation. Or to have a chat. With your words flowing out – freely and readily.

Natural style: Native-speaker-like English
The English that Prof. Kev Nair’s self-study books help you become fluent in is not the "bookish" kind, but the kind that native speakers of English speak – at home and outside. Genuine and natural. You’ll see that its marks are simplicity, liveliness, spontaneity and lack of artificiality.

These self-study books aim to help you speak international English. Educated international English. And not a regional or local variety.
