Four Language Skills

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":

The 4 Language Skills

Skill #1: Listening

Skill #2: Speaking

Skill #3: Reading

Skill #4: Writing

The four language skills are related to each other in two ways

the direction of communication (in or out)

the method of communication (spoken or written)

Input is sometimes called "reception" and output is sometimes called "production". Spoken is also known as "oral".

Note that these four language skills are sometimes called the "macro-skills". This is in contrast to the "micro-skills", which are things like grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and spelling.

Cutting Age Technology

“ Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.” Prensky (2001)

For example, Perry (2009) noted that “Children three to five years old are natural ‘manipulators’ of the world –

they learn through controlling the movement and interactions between objects in their world – dolls, blocks, toy cars,

and their own bodies.” Children are naturally curious and

willing to interact with computers, and they enjoy their ability to control the type, pace, and repetition of an activity. In

some cases, children have even managed to learn how to use a computer with no instruction at all.
