This unit discusses the methods used to teach the receptive skills of reading and listening. The key difference between listening and reading is that when learners listen to information, they have much less support than when they are working with the written word on a page. Listening requires "real-time" processing of language, and once the message has finished, there is no easy way to go back and check for meaning, as there is during reading.
The best way to improve receptive skills is from exposure. For example: television (series), movies, music, books and magazines.
Besides choosing material (with a variety of topics) that generate students' interest, it is also important that the teacher encourages the students to practice outside the classroom to help improving their reading and listening skills.
