When teaching receptive skills, generating authentic student interest is vital to the efficiency of a lesson. Previous units have covered student interest and motivation in a general sense, and I think it is absolutely vital in relation to a students receptive skills.
When students are using their receptive skills, and when they are practicing them in order to grow in the classroom, the teacher must maintain student motivation. These receptive skills can be used not just in the study of a new language, but can obviously be utilized when using L1 in the classroom, and in general interactions with people, media, and contemplative thought.
Within the classroom, it is vital for a teacher of English as a foreign language to measure comprehension. We must make cultural connections, and rather than translating our (American) culture to another culture, it is vital to explain American language in its cultural context.
When learning a new language, translating your language into this new language can be effective when communicating on a basic level, but in order to progress to more advanced levels of their L2, a student must become familiar with the context of the language.
