Abstract

Oral discourse language fillers allow one to master language’s strategic function competency. This has led to the development of FRET, an improved oral discourse strategy. The FRET stands for “friend,” “recognition,” “experience,” and “training strategy.” The purpose of the study is to evaluate the use of FRET: Language Fillers Strategy in ISPSC students’ oral discourse. The study employed a survey research design with 150 language major respondents using questionnaires. The mean of the gathered data was described and interpreted. Based on the study, students’ language skills and communication abilities are greatly improved when they use FRET. Gaining proficiency with filler words helps students overcome fears, speak with confidence, and develop unique speaking style. This also acts as launchpad for improving cognitive functions, generating new concepts, and streamlining communication. Thus, students’ development in communication depends on ability to use filler words deftly.
