The chapter’s focus is on the effect of task design and implementation conditionson fluency, including task design, implementation conditions and the role of interlocutors. The intention is to highlight the value of adapting research and teaching to use tasks for promoting fluency in real-world communication, taking account of pragmatic demands and cultural norms. We suggest ways in which tasks can be better used to investigate fluency, not only from an information processing perspective, but through an interactional lens, exploring speakers’ communicative strategies in fulfilling listeners’ expectations and communicative needs.
