This unit taught me the different ways in which a teacher can approach teaching writing and speaking of the English language. I learned that neither is more important than the other and that they are both of equal importance. I learned that there are a number of types of speaking activities ranging from controlled activities that are accuracy based to creative communication that is more based on the fluency. I also learned that there are a number of reasons that a student might be reluctant to speak in the classroom ranging from the lack of confidence to peer intimidation. However there are also various methods to help students get more encouraged to participate. For example getting them to work in pairs and groups. I also learned that there are a number of things that separate teaching of writing to the teaching of speaking. However, many of the same factors in teaching students how to speak need to be included in teaching students how to write. The unit also expresses how games might be useful in teaching students how to speak and write the English language effectively but there are times when games are most appropriate and effective. Games are suitable for children, teenagers and adults alike and can provide both controlled practice and free practice material.
