This is was a fascinating unit to study! I had never thought of how I would teach students through a reading or listening passage, and had never even thought of those skills as things that could be consciously honed by a teacher. I kind of knew that speaking, reading, writing, and listening were the basic skills in any language, but I had never thought critically about them -- I never had to! I never would have thought that these skills even had their own groupings (receptive and productive) and that there would be obvious differences within each skill dependent on the motivation to use them (for a purpose or for entertainment.) These skills are ones that of course I have encountered in my time as a student, and ones that I got particularly good at the further I went on in my studies, but it never occurred to me that my teachers played a large role in bettering those skills of mine. Without this unit, I would not have known how to even begin teaching this kind of material (or even thinking about it!) to a class of English speakers, much less to a class of English language learners. This unit is another one that shows me that my teachers were always doing more than just standing in front of the class; again I have learnt that being a teacher is a much more nuanced job than I initially thought, especially as a student. I am very excited to move onto the next unit and learn about the productive skills!
