This unit focus on speaking and writing (productive skills). It talks about the difference between accuracy activities and fluency activities. Accuracy activities are usually integrated in the study phase, they are controlled by the teacher and used to practice correct usage of grammar and language. Fluency activities are usually done in the activate phase and they give the students opportunity to be creative with the language. There's some guidelines for free creative speaking activities and the unit also gives some examples of how the teacher can encourage students to speak and interact during the lesson (eg. giving the students time to think and prepare the answers, providing more opportunities for pair or group work, praising the students for giving correct answers and not criticizing them for their mistakes, etc). Then it talks about things we should consider when teaching a writing class, like handwriting, punctuation, spelling and differences in spoken and written languages. At the end of this unit (both reading material and video class), we have some ideas to use games in the classroom.
