The 'Teaching productive skills' unit is about how to teach speaking and writing to your students. First it talks about the speaking skill and that there are 3 different types of speaking activities for in the classroom; controlled, guided and creative communication. These three types are subdivided by the classification of being more accuracy or fluency orientated. The unit also provides us with insight in possible difficulties of speaking in class that students could have and some techniques how to encourage all students (including those with difficulties) to participate actively in speaking activities. Then it provides us with guidelines for free/creative speaking activities and after that it jumps over to the writing skill. Here the main focus is on the aspects of writing as in that a person needs to use their handwriting, the spelling, punctuation and lay out of the language needed. Here I found out that there are languages that exist without punctuation or that are still scriptio continua. That was a big surprise to me. In the end it provides you with a definition of what a game is, how and why it can be put to good use in the classroom for practicing and reviewing learned vocabulary and grammar.
