The four basic skills in any language which are: reading, listening, speaking & writing are equally important.
Reading and listening are receptive skills. Readers and listeners employ a number of specialist skills and understanding the context will depend on their expertise in the following areas: Predictive skills, Scanning (specific information), Skimming (general idea)and detailed information.
There are basic keys to successful receptive skill lessons are:
1. The material that interests/motivates the students
2. Build interest before reading / listening
3. Pre-teach complex vocabulary or structures
4. Vary the type of material
5. Use the material to practice different skills
6. Use realistic comprehension tasks that aid understanding
7. Incorporate activate phase that naturally lead on from the text.
Again, to effectively teach the lesson, the suitable method or structure must be used which is most appropriate to the class and to the language that will be introduced.
