This unit is about teaching receptive skills. There are two kinds of receptive skills -- reading and listening. They are equally important. When the teacher creates a lesson, he/she should remember that each reading or listening activity has their reason. There can be two reasons: reading or listening for purpose and reading or listening for entertainment. Sometimes these two reasons can be used in combination.
When students read or listen they use a number of special skills such as predictive skills, scanning (for specific information), skimming (for general information), detailed information, deduction from context.
Sometimes students can face the problems with reading or listening such as problems with language, topic and tasks to perform.
To solve language problems the teacher should pre-teach difficult vocabulary and select the texts carefully.
To solve problems with topics the teacher should create the interest and choose some motivating and interesting for students topics.
To solve tasks problems the teacher should choose achievable realistic challenges.
