Teaching Receptive Skills
Reading and Listening: why?
• For a purpose (reading instructions/listening to directions)
• For entertainment (reading a novel for leisure/listening to your friend tell a joke)
How we read and listen
• Predictive skills - headline allows you to predict contents of an article
• Specific information - Look in the newspaper to find results of a game
• General idea- skimming- listen/read for the gist of something
• Detailed information - detailed directions on how to get somewhere
• Deduction from context - no smoking zone = not just literal meaning
Language
