There are 4 basic skills in any language; receptive skills- reading and listening, and productive skills- speaking and writing.
Understanding of the context will depend on their expertise in these areas:
1. Predictive Skills- Predicting the context of an article or dialogue from a headline or introduction.
2. Specific Information- Scanning - We often listen or read specific information.
3. General Idea- Skimming - This is where we read and listen for he gist of a text / dialogue, we don`t focus on every single word but are just trying to get a general understanding of the context.
4. Detailed Information- We read in order to understand everything in detail.
5. Deduction from the context- We need to understand or deduce the meaning of individual words or phrases from the context in which we hear or read them.
The basic keys to successful receptive skill lessons are :
1. Choose material that interests/motivates the students
2. Build interest before reading / listening
3. Pre teach complex vocabulary or structures
4. Vary the type of material
5. Use the material to practice different skills
6. Use realistic comprehension tasks that aid understanding
7. Incorporate activate phases that naturally lead on from the text.
