Unit 11 is about teaching receptive skills. There are four basic skills needed to learn a new language. They are reading and listening which are both receptive skills. Speaking and writing are productive skills. There are two basic reasons why people read or listen to something namely to achieve a goal for example to find out how a certain tool works. The other reason is for entertainment for example to listen to a joke. Understanding contexts will depend on a number of things namely: predictive skills; specific information; general idea; detailed information and deductions from context. Listening is more difficult than reading because only hear text once. Teachers can approach teaching receptive language by a number of ways. These include pre-teaching vocabulary; carefully selecting texts; choosing topics of interest; giving not-too-easy and not-too-difficult tasks.
