Receptive skills include reading and listening. There are two main categories of reasons for reading and listening: - for a purpose (getting instructions, learning a new language etc.) - for entertainment (jokes, fiction etc.) Reason can also be a mix of the two categories. Reading and listening are based on the folliwing skills which can be developed with practice: - predictive skills - scanning (finding specific information) - skimming (getting a general idea) - receiving detailed information - deducting from context Potential problems are connected with texts, topics and tasks. There are, however, ways of addressing difficulty: - pre-teaching vocabulary (pre-teching only relevant vocabulary is important) - selecting texts carefully (differentiation between authentic and non-authentic texts is important) Topic can have a great impact on students' motivation, so it's important to keep them diverse and take into account all of the group's interests. Proper selection of tasks and topic can help create interest which will obviously lead to better receptive skills development overall. Some task examples are as follows: - topic discussion, pictures and prediction for Engage stage; - jigsaw reading and jumbled texts for Study stage; - writing activities and guessing games for Activate stage;
