This unit discussed teaching receptive skills. The two receptive skills are reading and listening. We read and listen for a purpose or for entertainment, but often, for both. To read and/or listen successfully, we must use several specialist skills such as predictive skills, specific information scanning, general idea skimming, detailed information and deduction of context. Topic choice is very important when teaching reading and listening skills. Students must be engaged and enthusiastic about what is being discussed, otherwise they will become bored and learning will become difficult. The best way for a teacher to select a topic is to get to know the students and what interests them. In doing so, the teacher can have a variety of interesting topics to present to the class. A lack of connection with language within in the text can create problems with listening and reading, so it is critical the appropriate type of text is selected for materials to present to the class.
