In order to use a language effectively, we need to combine the ___ skills.

The four skills are related to each other by two parameters:

According to the medium (oral or written), Listening and Speaking are the language expressed through the ____ medium

According to the medium Reading and Writing are the language expressed through the ____ medium

According to the direction of communication (receiving or production), Listening and Reading are called ______ skills

According to the direction of communication (receiving or production), Speaking and Writing are called ______ skills

Which skills do usually happen simultaneously?

As Krashen defended, the ____(theory)___ is L-S-R-W. So receptive skills precede expressive skills.

____ is a conscious process and is the ability to understand and respond to spoken language.

____ is the ability to communicate in speech, which has to be appropriate to specific contexts.

____ is the ability to communicate in written, which has to be appropriate to specific contexts.

____ is an interactive process that goes on between the reader and the text, resulting in comprehension.

____ is the process of producing messages. It involves a graphic representation of the speech.

It is more complicated than it seems at first, and often seems to be the hardest of the 4 skills, even for native speakers.

We also must take into account the various tools to develop this productive skill; gestures, intonation, exaggerations

____ is the ability to understand the meaning of words but also understand how they relate to what has been said before and respond to spoken language.

____ provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication.

____ is the first skill students are exposed to and it means the first contact students have with the foreign language.

This skill requires concentration and interest from the students’ part. Sounds must be identified, they must be related to the lexical and grammatical elements representing and reconstructing the meaning of oral discourse depending on the situation and context where they appear.

According to James Asher (TPR Method), most new learners of a second language, go through a “silent period” which is an interval of time during which they are unable or unwilling to communicate orally (speak) in the new language.

students are asked to listen to an extract with the aim of collecting and organising the information it contains.

the language is within the students' capacity and they listen for pleasure and interest.

If we want our pupils to become efficient listeners, we must give them enough practice in both extensive and intensive listening.

Activities to work on the ______ skills should demand active pupil participation and lead into communicative situations. Also, the material has to be in good condition.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

we cover the screen, so they cannot watch it and they only listen to the sound. They have to imagine everything; say where the conversation takes place and who the characters are.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

the teacher plays the video with the sound turned off. Students speculate about what the characters say. Then, we turn on the volume and compare.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

is to create expectations by freezing the frame on the screen. Students predict what the characters say and what will happen next.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

we let half the class watch the images and the other half just hear. They take notes and compare to build a complete idea of what the video means.

____ situations are those in which the speaker alternately listens and speaks, with the chance to clarify, repeat or slower speech. It includes, for example, face to face conversations and telephone calls. Speakers are actively involved.

____situations are where the speaker does not have the opportunity to interact with the listener. The speaker cannot clarify, repeat or slower speech. For example, record a speech for the radio, TV, do lectures, record a CD, etc.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

___ is a useful way of eliciting the target language. They have to work together to reach a joint conclusion on a given topic. It is a kind of debate and it is for advanced groups

Choose the correct name of the activity:

___ is when students have to agree with each other after a certain amount of discussion. They are used to promote free and spontaneous language.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

___is when students have to give each other instructions. One of the most popular games is “Picture dictation”, in which one has a picture which has to describe to his peers, they draw following the instructions and then, they compare.

Choose the correct name of the activity:

___ is useful to present themselves and to express feelings. It can be done at the beginning of the class to warm up and to create a good atmosphere.

has a valuable role to play in the classroom because students can work at their own pace and the words are written permanently for them to go back if necessary. With younger students, visual aids can help them to associate the pattern of letters with a picture.

According to Brewster, it is useful to have a classroom library where students can choose the books they like to read.

The process to learn how to write can be divided into several steps.

The first step is to familiarise students with the written language.

The process to learn how to write can be divided into several steps.

The first step is to familiarise students with the written language.

According to Savignon (1997), Communication is understood as the exchange of meaning (and negotiation of information) between, at least, two individuals through a common system of verbal and non-verbal symbols, oral and written modes, and production and comprehension processes.

According to ______, the aim of learning a language is to acquire linguistic competence. This means, to internalise knowledge of the rules that allow us to produce grammatically correct sentences.

______stated that in order to learn a language, a native speaker does not only express grammatically correct forms. He proposes the term communicative competence which goes beyond linguistics, including extra-linguistic elements that can be defined as the capacity of the speaker to use the language in a specific context.
