Speaking and writing skills can be developed in the classroom with the right teacher input and lesson planning. Students need to be interested in the topic and feel that they are able to contribute by means of speech and writing. This can be encouraged by correctly introducing the language they are to use within that topic. the Engage stage should be interesting enough and non-corrective enough that the students are happy to speak in English however inaccurate, fluency is what is important here so a non-judgemental approach is best to allow the students to feel comfortable.
The accuracy based activities can be introduced within the study phase of the lesson when teachers can introduce new vocabulary with drilling activities, listening and repeating first as a class to build confidence and then allowing each student to have a try individually.
Once some of the accuracy based activities are introduced then it can be good to allow the students to have more practice with their fluency within the Activate stage of the lesson.
