This unit reviews ways to teach speaking and writing skills and presents some factors to consider in designing activities and lesson plans. It emphasized that accuracy and fluency are slightly different objectives and do not need to be pursued in the same activity; activities that aim to increase students' comfort with the language do not need to involve extensive corrections of grammar, etc. I found this aspect of the unit useful because often I find it difficult to know when to correct students' mistakes when they are speaking at length; it is helpful to think of speaking in particularly as involving two different objectives that can be pursued through different activities.
