Unit 12: Teaching Productive Skills outlines the techniques and difficulties of speaking and writing in the English language.
Teachers must differentiate between accuracy and fluency activities to ensure the students are given enough time to learn the function of new language and to be able use the language in a natural way. They can do this using controlled, guided or creative communication activities.
Teacher must create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to speak or make mistakes to ensure that learning is maximized.
Writing skills are often neglected but are extremely important. Some difficulties that can arise when teaching the writing of English are a student's handwriting skills, spelling and the differences in layout and punctuation to the student's native language.
Games are an integral part of learning a new language and should be a large part of syllabus. They provide useful controlled practice and free practice of English while being fun and comfortable.
