Unit 11 focuses on receptive skills - reading and listening. It shows that reading and listening is not solely something we do with our eyes and ears in order to recognize the words. Our minds must also grasp the overall meaning from a pre-existing knowledge of the world. Consequently, unit 11 shows the different reading and listening skills necessary. It then goes on to explain how to overcome problems by choosing language, topics and tasks suited to student abilities. After that, it outlines a typical receptive skills (Patchwork) lesson. Studying this unit made me conscious of the importance to incorporate the use of receptive skills into every lesson. With the help of the material from Tasks 6 and 7, I created my own lesson plan which enabled me to develop my lesson planning skills even further.
