Unit 11 looks at Teaching Receptive skills which are reading and listening. The unit states that there a a variety of reasons for reading and listening, and these reasons have been grouped into two wide-ranging categories which are: For purpose and for entertainment.It also states that students understanding of the context will depend on their expertise in the following areas: predictive skills, specific information-scanning, general idea-skimming, detailed information, deduction from context. It further looks at the problems associated with listening and reading, as well as ways of approaching language difficulties.
