Unit 12 covers productive skills in a classroom. Productive skills are the student output: speaking and writing. Both skills are very important when learning a new language because they encourage the learner to come up with the words and vocabulary that they will be using. Both deal with accuracy and fluency activities. Accuracy activities focus on correct grammar and pronunciation, while fluency activities focus on the overall flow of the communication and whether or not the message could be received. Games are also an important addition to a learning environment. They encourage learners to actively participate in the class, and create a way of learning that is also fun. Competitive games are great because they make students really focus on getting the most answers correct, while co-operative games are good because they encourage teamwork to help reach a common goal.
