Unit 11 - Teaching receptive skills
This unit considers receiptive skills, such as listening and reading, reasons and motives for reading and listening into two categories - for a purpose and for entertainment.
Readers and listeners employ a number of specialist skills when reading or listening, and
their understanding of the context will depend on their expertise in these areas:
- Predictive skills - predicting or guessing the content of a text or article from the headline or title.
- Specific information – scanning - sometimes, we read or listen to find out specific information only.
- General idea – skimming - we don’t have to focus on every word or try to understand every single word but try to just have a general idea or understanding of the text or listening material.
- Detailed information - if we need to understand something for a purpose, we need to read carefully or listen carefully so we can be sure to achieve that purpose.
- Deduction from context - our understanding of words and phrases should go beyond what is obvious.
Also, the main thing is choosing a topic - If students are interested in the topic, they are more likely to be very participative and motivated to learn more in class.
