A fluência oral é um componente essencial para o desempenho em aulas de inglês como língua estrangeira (EFL). Estudantes adultos de nível A2 em um centro de idiomas apresentam dificuldades recorrentes no desempenho oral, com respostas curtas e hesitantes e frequentes casos de autocorreção, associados à ênfase excessiva na precisão gramatical. Para enfrentar essa lacuna, esta pesquisa-ação analisou os efeitos da narração oral por meio de notas de voz do WhatsApp em um grupo de seis participantes adultos. A intervenção ocorreu em sete sessões, nas quais os participantes criaram colaborativamente uma história e gravaram notas de áudio sequenciais com base em sugestões do professor. Posteriormente, essas gravações foram utilizadas em atividades de narração em sala de aula. O estudo incluiu testes pré e pós-intervenção, analisados por meio de uma rubrica analítica de fluência que avaliou o número de palavras por minuto (WPM), as pausas e os casos de autocorreção. Os resultados foram positivos: todos os participantes aumentaram sua pontuação global de fluência. Especificamente, cinco dos seis participantes reduziram o número de pausas, e quatro aumentaram seu WPM. Esses achados sugerem que a intervenção favoreceu a fala contínua em detrimento da automonitorização excessiva. O resultado positivo é atribuído principalmente à combinação de uma ferramenta de comunicação familiar e envolvente com o engajamento dos estudantes, o que favoreceu emoções positivas, como redução da ansiedade inicial, orgulho e confiança.
