There are various forms of learning a new language; this unit focuses on the receptive skills known as reading or listening. The receptive skills are either used for entertainment or a specific purpose. An example of this would be listening to music on the radio versus reading instructions on how to use a new video game. Moreover, there are various skills which can be gained through these receptive skills such as scanning, skimming, detailed reading, deduction, and prediction. These types of skills are used throughout many various types of languages around the world. Personally, I felt reading was not as important as a child due to lack of interest. Once I found something I was interested in reading, I was unable to stop. Therefore, the unit highlights an interest in the subject of the structured lesson is the key to more participation with the students. Another important part of the lesson was to make sure the students had some knowledge before starting the lesson topic. If the students did not understand, it was important to pre-teach new material and knowledge so they would understand the subject at hand. Overall, receptive skills are important for those starting to learn the English language and ways in which to implement new vocabulary and skills.
