This unit explains the difference between receptive and productive language skills, and explains the importance of receptive skills- reading and listening. Reading and listening are equally important skills and a teacher should be aware of many things before teaching them to a class. When learning a language, a student can read a text using a variety of skills or reasons; predictive skills, specific information-scanning skills, general idea-skimming skills, for detailed information or using deductive skills to come to a conclusion about a text. Teachers can help students feel confident with their receptive skills by choosing a topic that will interest the students, pre-teaching difficult vocabulary and by choosing texts carefully (only using authentic texts that the students will understand). Teachers should also vary the type of material to keep things interesting and should build interest before reading/listening to the topic.
