IN THIS UNIT WE FOCUS ON PRODUCTIVE SKILLS: SPEAKING AND WRITING SKILLS. ABOUT SPEAKING WE HAVE TO CONSIDER 2 ASPECTS: ACCURACY (THE CORRECT USE OF GRAMMAR AND VOCABULARY) AND FLUENCY (THE ABILITY TO SPEAK WITHOUT ANY INTERRUPTION). BOTH THOSE ASPECTS ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT OF COURSE. DURING AN ESA SPEAKING SKILL LESSON THE STUDY PHASE IS THE BEST FOR TEACH ACCURACY, WHEREAS THE ACTIVATE PHASE IS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR FLUENCY.IN GENERAL WE CAN HAVE 3 DIFFERENT SPEAKING SKILLS ACTIVITIES: CONTROLLED (STUDY PHASE), GUIDED (STUDY AND ACTIVATE PHASES) AND CREATIVE (ACTIVATE PHASE). REGARDLESS THOSE 3 DIFFERENT TYPES, THE TEACHER HAS TO CREATE A NEED OR A DESIRE TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS INTERACTIONS; HE / SHE HAS TO MAKE SURE STUDENTS HAVE THE LANGUAGE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO WORK; HE/SHE HAS TO FORM PAIRS TO ALLOW INTERACTION AND REDUCE STRESS. WRITING TENDS TO BE MORE FORMAL THEN SPOKEN ENGLISH. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WRITING AND SPEAKING SKILLS BUT IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT THERE ARE MANY SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THEM. THERE ARE 3 SUB-SKILLS WITHIN WRITING SKILL ITSELF: HANDWRITING, SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION. IN ADDICTION WE HAVE ALSO TO CONSIDER DIFFERENT SITUATIONAL WAY OF WRITING (A FORMAL LETTER, AN EMAIL OR A POSTCARD) AND CREATIVE WRITING (POETRY, DIALOGUE,STORIES). IN ORDER TO TEACH PRODUCTIVE SKILL VERY IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE IS THE USE OF GAMES.
