I learned about the different specialist skills needed for reading and listening successfully:
a. Predictive skills – predicting or guessing the content of a text or article from the headline or title.
b. Scanning for specific information – sometimes, we read or listen to find out specific information only. For example, we don’t have to read everything or listen to everything if we just want to know the results of a game or the weather for tomorrow.
c. Skimming for general idea – we don’t have to focus on every word or try to understand every single word but try to just have a general idea or understanding of the text or listening material.
d. Reading and listening for detailed information – if we need to understand something for a purpose, we need to read carefully or listen carefully so we can be sure to achieve that purpose.
e. Deductive skills – our understanding of words and phrases should go beyond what is obvious. Sometimes, we need to read or listen between the lines in order to deduce the real meaning of what people are writing and saying.
