While writing and speaking are considered productive skills (as opposed to listening and reading, the receptive language skills), both require different teaching methodologies and pose different pedagogical difficulties. Speaking is the means through which a good ESL classroom will run and is most often the focus of students trying to learn the language. Speaking commands a certain level of fluency, which can only be acquired through regular practice. In addition, a speaker will often need to think ?on the spot? and be ready to respond to some unpredictable circumstances. As reviewed in Unit 12, obviously only a classroom committed to using English as the language of communication can benefit from practice and only a teacher willing, patient, organized, and dedicated enough to bettering his/her students? English speaking skills will see their students improving. It is his/her responsibility to design lessons that not only maximize student talk time, but also present the opportunity to practice speaking in controlled, guided and creative-speaking situations.
