This unit focuses on the productive skills of speaking and writing. I learned that in the TEFL world, the skill of writing is most neglected. I also learned about the difference between accuracy and fluency activities. Accuracy activities focus on producing correct language and is usually done in the Study phase and controlled by the teacher. Fluency activities focus on letting students experiment and be creative in the language and is usually done in the Activate phase. I learned that for some students it can be challenging to speak in a classroom setting for a variety of reasons such as lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, cultural reasons, etc. Careful planning, peer work, and plenty of controlled and guided practice are some of the techniques to encourage speaking interaction.
