Listening, speaking, reading, and writing are the four core skills in language learning.

Receptive skills—reading and listening—involve understanding language input.

Productive skills involve output: speaking and writing.

Skill integration reflects real communication and enhances overall fluency.

Skimming is reading quickly to understand the main idea.

Scanning involves looking for specific information within a text.

Listening tasks help learners understand spoken language and develop real-world communication skills.

Fluency is the ability to speak smoothly and naturally without long pauses.

Using guided writing tasks and providing models helps learners write effectively.
