In this unit I was introduced to the productive skills of speaking and writing. The reason we would choose to do so- for a desire or need. This idea helps us to create interest in our lessons. When doing a speaking lesson we want to make sure to pay attention to our chosen activities and in our study phase is where we would be working on accuracy or the grammar of the language and during an activate phase is where we could focus on the fluency of speech or the ability to communicate without pause. In our writing lessons it is good to remember that it is often a skill not worked on in depth because the focus is placed on listening and speaking most of class. Two forms of writing that we can teach in our class time would be situational writing such as post cards or emails and creative writing like stories or dialogues. Some points to remember here would be to make sure there is an understanding of the new vocabulary and of the structures or patterns needed to communicate during the lesson and that in study and activate phases we are doing our D.E.GO.
