This unit talks about teaching productive skills and what tools teachers can utilize to best teach these skills as well what obstacles and challenges there can be.

Accuracy, although applicable to both skills is more of a writing-centric area of concern, where as the same can be said for fluency but with a spoken-centric expectation.
