    FOUR LANGUAGE DOMAINS

    • WHAT ARE FOUR LANGUAGE DOMAINS?


    • Language can be divided into the domains of
    1. listening,
    2. speaking,
    3. reading, and
    4. Writing
    WHY ARE THE FOUR SKILLS USEFUL?

    • Why are the four skills useful?


    • In-order to become a well-rounded communicator one needs to be proficient in each of the four language
    skills.
    • These four skills give learners opportunities to create contexts in which to use the language for exchange
    of real information, evidence of their own ability (proof of learning) and, most important, confidence.
    • 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

    • Listening is a receptive language skill which learners usually find the most difficult. This often is
    because they feel under unnecessary pressure to understand every word.
    • The listener has to get oriented to the listening portion and be all ears. The listener is also
    required to be attentive.
    • Anticipation is a skill to be nurtured in Listening.
    • In everyday life, the situation, the speaker, and visual clues all help us to decode oral messages.
    In due course of listening, be in a lookout for the sign post words.
    LISTENING CONT…

    • Thirdly one should be able to concentrate on understanding the message thoroughly. Listening
    Skills could be enhanced by focusing on making the students listen to the sounds of that
    particular language.
    • This would help them with the right pronunciation of words. To equip students with training in
    listening, one can think about comprehending speeches of people of different backgrounds and
    regions.
    • This intensive listening will ultimately help a student to understand more on the accents to be
    used and the exact pronunciation of words.
