The productive skills are speaking and writing, because learners doing these need to produce language. They are also known as active skills. They can be compared with the receptive skills of listening and reading. Example Learners have already spent time practising receptive skills with a shape poem, by listening to it and reading it. They now move on to productive skills by group writing their own, based on the example. In the classroom Certain activities, such as working with literature and project work, seek to integrate work on both receptive and productive skills.This unit focused on why and how we teach the receptive skills listening and reading. It is important to choose topics that are within the skill level of the students being taught. For this reason, non-authentic texts or audio clips can be used that focus on the language being used. It is important that students are also exposed to authentic English also, in order to expose them to natural language. It is also advised to choose topics that the students are interested in. This will help with Activate phases, where students can practice new language with familiar objects.
