This morning, I was having an online class with my 10 year-old Japanese student. He asked me how to improve his fluency. I told him to think in English when speaking. He needs to refrain from translating Japanese words or phrases to English in his mind. In this way, the fluency using the second language will improve. In time, he can also dream something in English. We both laughed out loud.
What do you think?
Are there any other ways?

Reading and watching will improve him and using the english language at home for the time being.
Same, I don't really believe in translating our own language in English as we speak just like my classmates do back in highschool, it makes more complicated and confusing, and it takes time when answering english exam.

I had dreams in English, so that's true!
I think your advice is very good, and some words and phrases can be hard to translate so thinking in English is the best way to go. I could just add reading (out loud maybe) and listening helps with this, especially if his goal is to be fluent in speaking.
