Productive skills – writing and talking - in the classroom serve the same purpose: communicating. Writing is often neglected, requires more accuracy and can be difficult; it is usually part of a Study Stage (eg drilling and prompting, also guided role play). Speaking is more dynamic/creative and requires fluency for effectiveness; it is usually part of the Activate Stage (eg productive techniques, like free role-play, discussions, debates, communication games). In my experience learning three foreign languages, I have found that balancing accuracy and fluency is essential for progress; in other words, one is not more important than the other. Various creative and productive techniques (with varying teacher control) exist to encourage students to speak and interact during all stages of the lesson. A Straight Arrow ESA lesson works well for creative writing lessons.
