What are Academic Skills?

• Academic skills are a collection of study habits,


learning strategies, and time management tools
that help students learn and absorb school
lessons.
• For most students, learning is about much more
than access to information.
• These skills not only benefit the students when
it comes time to take tests, but can also help in
the future.
Importance of Academic skills

Education around the world tends to focus on five primary areas:


language arts, including reading and writing
• mathematics
• science
• history
• technological literacy

Academic skills go hand in hand with these core subjects, giving students
the tools they need to deeply learn the key lessons of each discipline.
When we learn a language, there are four skills that we
need for complete communication.

When we learn our native language, we usually learn to


listen first, then to speak, then to read, and finally to
write. These are called the four "language skills". 

These 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.  
What are the four Basic skills of Language?

• These are the cornerstones of learning a language.


• Reading
• Writing
• Listening
• Speaking
• The skills work in pairs. When you’re reading or listening,
you’re consuming a language.
• However, when you’re writing or speaking,
you’re producing a language.
•  Listening and reading are
known as ‘receptive’ skills.
• speaking and writing are
known as ‘productive’ skills.
• Of course, there other skills
such as pronunciation,
grammar, vocabulary, and
spelling all play a role in
effective English
communication.
