This unit has highlighted the importance of receptive skills in particular reading and listening. Receptive skills is essential when one is doing it with a purpose or for entertainment. People often read with different goals, some people read with predictive skills such as reading headlines just for a quick understanding which however would not be accurate of the whole article. Some people scanned the article just to find a particular portion which they are of interest, and some skim through the article to find the gist of the article. There also could be people who read in detail to understand and learn about what was written and there are also people who read with their own deduction of the content. In order to teach students, teachers have to understand the vocabulary level of the students and pick out words that the students might not understand, pre-teach them before introducing the articles to them so as to avoid mmisunderstandings. Teachers have to be careful in choosing the texts such as choosing texts which the students are capable of reading and understanding as well as that fits the interest. It is important to do so as if the students lost their interest in the reading or listening, the students might not be able to understand the article as clearly.
