Unit 12 focused on the teaching of productive skills (speaking and writing). From this lesson, I learned that writing is often neglected in the classroom and relegated to homework, which may not be completed, resulting in the underdevelopment of the skill. I also learned the difference between accuracy based, guided, and fluency based activities. Accuracy based activities are controlled activities (language is controlled by the teacher). Guided activities are accuracy based but allow for more creativity. Fluency based activities are those in which the scenario may be created by the teacher, but the content of the language is not.
