I think in some ways the two skills are very much connected. I think if you're able to write well, you will have a better vocabulary and general knowledge of words and their meanings. On the other hand, you can have the biggest and best vocabulary and have zero delivery. I find in as many ways as reading, writing, and speaking are connected there are equal ways that the three are very different. I am a good reader and writer (I think) and not quite as good at public speaking, if only for I tend to get nervous sometimes. I think if I were not to have the reading and writing capabilities that I have, my speaking technique would be far worse.
