Teaching Production Skills – Writing and Speaking
Teaching of Productive Skills (Writing & Speaking)
Apart from the obvious differences in grammar, vocabulary and sentence formation - written text has a number of points of differentiation to speaking the English language. There are issues of letter, word, and text formation: manifested by handwriting, spelling, layout and punctuation. In this component of the text we discuss ways to improve writing skills with a variety of different techniques. To promote fluency in the classroom, the teacher needs to play a number of different roles in the classroom to maximise participation in speaking activities. Here we discuss the techniques a TEFL teacher can utilize in order to improve fluency, language processing and the transition from structural to functional English. Also covered are the four major difficulties students encounter when speaking a foreign language.
