Teaching Productive Skills to the Students: a secondary Level Scenario

a. 
Students should not be Encouraged to Memorize Everything: 
Students should be encouraged to avoid memorizing everything. They can 
memorize some rules or principles of grammar but they should avoid memorizing the 
sentences at all level. It destroys their power of language creativity and productivity. The 
teachers and the parents should let the students write in their own language and 
discourage them by not motivating them towards memorization. 
b. 
Teachers should try to Encourage t
he Students’ Interests in the Classroom: 
Teachers should ensure that the students are enjoying their writing tasks in the 
classroom. They can adapt any new or innovative technique to encourage them. They 
can offer rewards, ask them to compete with each other, make groups, use 
technologies like computer, projector or any other tool to get students‟ interests in the 
class to make the reading or writing activities successful. 
c. 
Teachers should help the Students Think Critically While Writing: 
Teachers should help the students think critically and originally about their writing 
tasks. They should have the freedom to choose their own writing topics whenever 
possible. Teachers sometimes can let them take the responsibility of their own mistakes 
and do self-correction. The students will thus improve the problem solving skill related to 
their writing. It will also motivate the students to become an independent writer and a 
confident learner.

d. 
Teachers should have the Knowledge of the Teaching Methods: 
Teachers, before adapting any new or interesting teaching technique in the class, 
must have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding through attending 
workshops and reading books of the teaching methodologies. Otherwise they might end 
up in leading them to the ultimate failure in all the tasks or activities.Though some 
teachers try to use some creative techniques, they are not trained and fail to apply 
those properly. Therefore, there should be proper programs to train the teachers in the 
new and innovative approaches to teaching reading and writing.
