Unit 11 defines the four basic skills in any language which are: receptive skills and productive skills, his unit focuses on receptive skills (reading and listening).
There are many reasons for reading and listening: for a purpose when the goal of reading is getting an information for example or for entertainment when we enjoy reading or listening and the only goal is the satisfaction of doing so.
there are many ways of reading and listening and they are not only a matter of eyes and ears but also minds. Many skills are used by readers and listeners including predictive skills, scanning, skimming detailed information and deduction from the context.
However, problems related to reading an listening are common and can be related to language which can be overcame by pre-teaching vocabulary and careful selection of texts. There are also problems related to topics, creating interest, tasks.
It is important to use the adequate method ESA to overcome all these problems and remember that there is no strict wrong or right. The basic keys to successful receptive skills are all we mentioned above.
