Unit 12 continued on from what we learnt in unit 11 with the receptive skills by covering the productive skills. The two productive skills are speaking and writing. The unit covered the difference between accuracy and fluency activities when speaking and writing. During the study phase the emphasis is put on to the accuracy of speaking and writing while during the activate stage we are more concerned with the fluency. The unit then went onto speaking activities in the classroom and how to get the students participating and speaking during the lessons. We were also introduced to guide lines for a free/creative speaking activity. Next the unit looked at writing, covering handwriting, spelling, layout and punctuation and creative writing. The unit then went over a typical creative writing activity lesson, finishing by giving a list of game which can be adapted to suit for the engage and activate stages.
