    DEVELOPING THE FOUR ESSENTIAL SKILLS

    ¡ When we learn a language, there are four skills that we need for complete
    communication.
    ¡ These are called the four "language skills".
    ¡ The four skills of language are a set of four capabilities that allow an individual to
    comprehend and produce spoken language for proper and effective interpersonal
    communication.
    ¡ These skills are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
    RECEPTIVE VS PRODUCTIVE

    ¡ Listening and reading are the receptive skills because learners do not need to
    produce language, they receive and understand it.
    ¡ These skills are sometimes known as passive skills.
    ¡ The productive skills are speaking and writing because learners are applying these
    skills in a need to produce language.
    ¡ They are also known as active skills.
    LISTENING

    ¡ The primary aspects that comprise listening are, comprehending, retaining and
    responding.
    ¡ One of the indispensable ways of developing ones listening skills is to communicate
    well with others.
    ¡ You should understand the main ideas of most speech in a standard dialect.
    ¡ The ability to listen actively enables the individuals to bring about improvements in
    their communication skills and interactive abilities.
    SPEAKING

    ¡ With the development of effective speaking skills, individuals would be able to


    express themselves in a well-organized manner.
    ¡ Another way to improve your English speaking skills is to immerse yourself in English
    as much as possible.
    ¡ Listen to music in English and sing along. Music is one of the best tools for learning
    intonation pronunciation.
    ¡ Saying your thoughts out loud or narrating your actions (“I am drinking coffee, and
    now I’m going to open my book”) can be a very effective way to practice spoken
    English.
    READING

    ¡ You should try to spend at least 30 minutes every day on focused reading. That’s how
    to improve your reading skills seriously and successfully.
    ¡ If you want to learn English more quickly, lots of reading is important. The more you
    read, the more input your brain gets about how the language works.
    ¡ Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary.
    ¡ Read along with the text while you listen to a native speaker read it. Listen and read
    several times and you’ll be improving your pronunciation and listening skills too.
    Remember, read to learn English!
    WRITING

    ¡ Academic writing renders a significant contribution in acquisition of higher education.


    ¡ The development of effective writing skills not only helps the individuals to pursue
    their academic goals, but they are also able to acquire good employment
    opportunities.
    ¡ You should be able to write competently about topics relating to particular interests
    and write clearly about special fields of competence.
    ¡ To master writing English effectively you should expand your vocabulary, improve
    grammar and master spellings.
    IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH LISTENING SKILLS

    ¡ The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening.”


    ¡ Give the speaker your undivided attention, and acknowledge the message.
    ¡ Use your own body language and gestures to show that you are engaged.
    ¡ Develop curiosity, an open mind, and a desire for continuous growth.
    ¡ Focus on what they're saying. Don't allow other thoughts or sounds to sway your
    concentration.
    ¡ Listen to things you enjoy and things that interest you. And, make it relevant to you.
    ¡ Pay attention to what you’re hearing and the situations around you. Always ask
    yourself what you think might come next in the conversation based on your
    experience and logically what would make sense.
