Teaching Productive Skills to the Students: a secondary Level Scenario

e. 
Parents should come out of the thought of Old Teaching Methodologies: 
Not only the teachers or the students should be aware of the modern and 
scientific learning process; parents of the children should also come out of the thought 
that teachers are the only speaker in the class and the students are the silent recipients. 
It is said that, parents are the first tutors of the students before the teachers start to 
teach the students. So, if the parents do not motivate their children at home to work 
independently as well as expect them to participate actively in the class, nothing will 
work properly.

Conclusion 
 
As a universal medium of communication English has become the only language 
for the world citizen in this advanced world of Information technology. In Bangladesh, 
English is being taught as a core subject from class 1 -12, yet it is painful to watch that 
students are still lagging behind to achieve expected level of proficiency in respect of 
productive skills. For a long time communicative method is followed at schools and 
colleges that aims at developing four skills reading, writing, listening and speaking. 
Proper planning, implementation and monitoring can make it possible to achieve 
students‟ language proficiency in four skills simultaneously.
There is no doubt that in the era of globalization speaking is more important than 
ever. As English is a foreign language in our country and our education system does not 
put much emphasis on teaching speaking, it is recommended that speaking should be 
properly taught by following the appropriate methods and techniques. We can notice 
that speaking competences are complex skills that need to be developed consciously. 
They can best be developed with practice in classroom through activities, which 
promote interaction between students. We can see that it is easier to obtain students 
„participation and motivation when the suggested materials are entertaining, original and 
interesting. The key is to motivate and change their negative attitude towards English, 
giving students a chance to speak about interesting topics. It is desirable to say that 
teachers must support students in their education and encourage them to use English, 
and at the same time, teachers need to be in constant contact with new techniques and 
materials in this changeable teaching world. Through the findings of the study, it can be 
said that all the institutes should pay special attention to make the students competent 
in spoken English. If the teachers, students and the authorities cooperate and adopt the 
recommendations, the teaching and learning of spoken English will be more effective.

On the other hand the present study refers to the needs of writing skills for the 
students of Bangladesh and finds out that students are weak in writing and fully lack 
their interest in these major tool of learning. The teachers are not trained properly. The 
problems of the students regarding writing are multi-faceted. The study has tried to 
identify these problems and examine the nature of the present teaching process in our 
country in some details. The recommendations of the findings of this study discussed 
earlier in previous chapter should be taken into careful consideration, and steps should 
be taken to implement those in our classrooms. If implemented, it is expected that the 
state of the teaching and learning of writing skills in our country will improve remarkably.
