Perfecting Productive Skills… … for a Positive Outcome in the 8th Grade Exam

John Wolf

Two of the sections contained in the new 8^th grade exam concern productive skills and focus on real world communication in the form of writing and use of language functions. What issues do your learners have in these areas? How can we support them and develop the skills ready for the exam? Does writing have to be left for homework, or does it have a place in the classroom along with speaking? This session provides some highly practical ideas to help learners to effectively develop the various vital skills associated with these areas – and to have some fun at the same time.
