I'm currently looking for scholarly research papers that discuss how speaking fluency is developed, especially for people learning English.

If there are any recommended readings, please share them here.

I'm interested in reading about scientific findings.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Does "English learners" here refer to people learning English, or English people learning other languages? (There is probably a ton of research on speaking fluency.)
