This blog started with my learning journey on the fantastic course offered by TheConsultants-e.com on teaching languages with technology (CertICT) and validated by Trinity College London which I took in 2008. It is about me as a professional doing what I love most - teaching, training and of course learning and integrating technology into teaching!

Methodology Pills for Induced Reflection No.13 Productive Skills - SPEAKING
Right, here's the last one to complete the productive skills suite. As can be seen from the summary at the end it actually follows a PPP framework which we have said before was more appropriate for language based lessons. Now, you may be asking yourself why and here's a plausible answer. Speaking is a language skill and as such if you think about the what you would cover in a purely speaking lesson then, then you start realising that the sub skills we want to help ss develop are usually embedded inside functional language and so being language systems it seem appropriate to approach it through a PPP framework. Obviously this also means that it can be approached from a guided discovery angle as the sub-skills work you want to do when dealing with speaking (connected speech, appropriacy, specific areas of pronunciation, target audience, etc) is more easily done when embedded in a text, spoken or written. Ok, so here we go - enjoy!
