This unit discussed various techniques and reasons for teaching reading and listening (a.k.a. receptive skills). Receptive skills require expertise in several different areas:
1. Predictive skills - e.g. predicting the content of a dialog or article from a headline.
2. Scanning - e.g. looking in a newspaper for a football score or only listening to a particular story on the news.
3. Skimming - Not reading every word, but just trying to get a general understanding of the content.
4. Detailed information - Reading or listening to get every detail (e.g. listening to directions)
5. Deduction from context - Seeing beyond the literal meaning of words (e.g. "you're in a non-smoking zone")
Different problems for teaching/learning receptive skills were identified and discussed and different examples for teaching each were given.
