Language has four basic skills, namely: receptive skills (listening and reading) and productive (speaking and writing). The main focus of this unit was receptive skills. There are two main purposes for reading and listening, mainly: for a purpose (reading/listening to achieve a particular aim or goal) and for entertainment (reading/listening because you find it pleasurable or enjoyable), but it may be a mix of both. Something I did not consider is that reading and listening greatly involves the brain as well, and not just the eyes and ears. The brain has to process and grasp overall meaning in order for reading and listening to be effective. Expertise in the following areas: predictive skills, scanning, skimming, detailed information and deduction from context, will permit the understanding of context. This was new information for me. Lastly, text selection is vital, and learners' interests are greatly useful in stimulating interest and engagement in the text. What I did not think was possible was to accommodate all learners, but it is simple enough when you use a wide variety of topics over a period of time.
