The unit is about the basic skills in any language focusing on the receptive skills of reading and listening. Reading and listening can be with purpose or for entertainment but often is a combination of both.
Reading and listening is more than just hearing and seeing, we utilise other specialist skills, such as predicting the content, scanning to get an overview, skimming so we can get the gist , reading to understand all the details , like and instruction manual, and finally deducing the meaning from a few words or a phrase.
It is vital that the teacher chooses topics that are of interest to students, in order to have them engaged and excited to learn. Setting comprehension tasks that promote understanding. A good task needs to challenging enough and readily accessible but not so difficult it leaves the students frustrated and feeling their confidence undermined.
