The productive skills, speaking and writing, are all about communicating with others and with the world. When it comes to speaking, some aspects of the lesson should focus on accuracy and others on fluency. When focusing on accuracy, the teacher will be controlling the language used and for this reason it is best that accuracy-based activities occur only in the study phase. Meanwhile, fluency-based activities will require the students to control the language and the output and try to utilize new language in creative ways. It is also important that the teacher encourages students to speak to one another in English by establishing a classroom rapport and engaging the learners. When it comes to writing, a teacher may wish to focus on handwriting as for many students Latin characters will be entirely new, spelling due to the various difficulties presented by the non-phonetic nature of the English language, punctuation and style/layout because of the differing levels of appropriateness for certain punctuation in various situations, and the encouragement of creative writing as creative writing will force the learners to think carefully about what they wish to communicate and grow in confidence.
