This unit is about the receptive skills of teaching a language and since I have never studied language as a subject apart from knowing that it consist of reading ,writing ,listening and speaking and that all four are equally important all of this is new and interesting to me. This unit views the reasons for reading and listening, for purpose or entertaining or a bit of both.How we read and listen with a pre-existing knowledge to gain true understanding. Special skills that we need to develop to listen and read, predictive/scanning/skimming/detailed information and deduction from context.The main problems with listening and reading is basically the language contained in the text(sentence and word length,unfamiliar words) 2)the topic and how to create an interesting topic for all over time. Engage students in discussing the topic/showing pictures/predicting what the text will be about and other engage phase activities.3)Tasks is good when it is a challenge that is realistically achievable.Jigsaw reading and scramble reading are new and I am surely going to use it now. The outline of the receptive lesson plan makes everything practical and understandable.Unit ends with basic keys to successful receptive lesson-interesting material/build interest before you read or listen/pre-teach vocabulary/ vary material/use material to practice different skills/realistic comprehension tasks and incorporate activate phase that naturally lead on from the text.
