They are actually two different skill sets. I've met quite some students who can discuss the topics with depth orally - posing good questions, raising good counter-arguments, replying nicely to your replies, etc. But when they need to put their ideas and arguments into a 2000-word essay, then things didn't go well.

Writing an argumentative essay requires something different to an in-depth oral discussion of the topics.

(The same is also true for the reverse. Some of the best students in writing essay aren't nowhere near as good when they need to engage in oral discussions.)

I don't doubt that at all. It'll need to be a shift in how we prepare students from several years earlier.
