 PRODUCTIVE SKILLS

Speaking and writing are called productive skills

because we use the language to produce a message
through speech or written text.
 PRODUCTIVE SKILLS
SPEAKING SKILL
"Speaking" is the delivery of language through mouth. To speak, we create sounds using many
parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips”

Informal speaking is typically used with family and friends or people we know well.
Formal speaking occurs in business or academic situations, or when meeting people for the first
time.
 PRODUCTIVE SKILLS
ACCURACY AND FLUENCY

What is the difference between accuracy and fluency activities?

Accuracy activities are concentrated on producing correct language. Such activities are usually 
controlled to ensure accurate reproduction of language.
Fluency activities are concentrated on allowing the student to experiment and be creative with 
the language.
 TEACHING SPEAKING SKILL
1. Controlled activities - accuracy based activities. Language is controlled by the teacher. 
◦ A. Drilling choral and individual listening to and repetition of the teacher's modal of pronunciation. 
◦ B. Prompting (pre-planned question and answer is the most obvious example).

2. Guided activities – accuracy based but a little more creative and productive. The output is still controlled by the teacher but the exact
language isn’t.

A. Model dialogues 

B. Guided role-play 

3. Creative communication fluency based activities. The scenario is usually created by the teacher but the content of the language isn't. 

A. Free role-plays 

B. Discussions 
◦ C. Debates 
◦ D. Simulations 
◦ E. Communication games
 TEACHING SPEAKING SKILL
A typical free/creative speaking activity lesson:
Engage – Ask students about the weather in their countries and discuss how it changes
throughout the year. Discuss weather variations in other countries. Ask them if they know what
a weather forecast is and where they can find them.
Study – Elicit weather forecast vocabulary and complete various matching and gap-fill exercises.
Activate – Students write a country (not their own) and a month on a card in pairs, which is
collected by the teacher to be redistributed to another pair. They then have to prepare a typical
weather forecast for the country on the card that they now have, at that time of the year.
 TEACHING SPEAKING SKILL
Techniques to encourage interaction in the classroom
1. Pair-work 
2. group work
3. Create a desire and need to communicate 
4. Change classroom dynamics 
5. Careful planning 
6. With certain activities you may need to allow 
students time to think about what they 
are going to say
 TEACHING WRITING SKILL
Writing skills :
Writing a text has quite a number of differences which separates it from speaking. Not only are
there differences in grammar, vocabulary, but also in spelling, layout and punctuation. 

Despite these differences, many of these factors are as those for speaking, need to
be considered and incorporated.
 TEACHING WRITING SKILL
1. SPELLING
Incorrect spelling can not only create misunderstandings but also can often be perceived, by the
reader, to reflect a lack of education. Spelling in English is very difficult by the fact that many
words that are pronounced the same are written differently and some words are written the
same but pronounced differently.

2. Layout and punctuation

To help students learn different layouts of writing, they need to be exposed to, and be given the
chance to practice with many different styles. After completing a piece of written work, they get
to check it over for grammar, vocabulary usage as well as punctuation and spelling. As with
speaking activities, students will often require planning time for written work.
 TEACHING WRITING SKILL
Creative writing

Although most writing in the 'real world' is an individual act, there is nothing to stop
the teachers assigning students to work in pairs or groups, particularly for creative writing
where the input of ideas from different sources may be helpful if not necessary.
Typical creative writing tasks may include poetry, story writing and plays. 
 TEACHING WRITING SKILL
A typical creative writing activity lesson:
Engage – Show students a picture from a newspaper or magazine without any text. Ask the
students to come up with some ideas to say what is happening in the picture, along with what
happened before and after, etc.
Study – Show students an example of a cartoon strip with speech bubbles for dialogue and
rectangular boxes for description/action, etc, and elicit the difference. Give them a cartoon
strip, in pairs (real or prepared) with either the speech text or descriptions removed. Discuss
ideas from the students for the situation, what the people might be talking about, etc. Get them
to fill in the missing material with their own ideas.
Activate – Get together enough cartoon strips with a minimum of 5 boxes to give to each pair of
students. Remove both the dialogue and the descriptions Cut and paste the strips into a vertical
sequence of 5 pictures. Draw a dotted line between each set of pictures.
