In this unit I took a look at the productive skills: speaking and writing. Communication between people is a very complex and ever changing thing. But there are generalisations that we can make which have particular relevance for the teaching and learning of languages.When two or more people are communicating with each other, we can be sure that they are doing so for one of the following reasons : they have some communicative purpose, they want to say something
, they want to listen to something, are interested in what is being said. Accuracy activities (usually part of the study phase) are concentrated on producing
correct language. Such activities are usually controlled to ensure accurate reproduction of language.Fluency activities (usually part of the activate phase) are concentrated on allowing the students to experiment and be creative with language. Also we can use techniques to encourage interaction. They are : Pair-work Group-work, Plenty of controlled and guided practice before fluency activities; make speaking activities purposeful (create a desire and need to communicate); change the classroom dynamics; careful planning, ; with certain activities you may need to allow students time to think about what they are going to say.
