Language Skills

Developing your speaking skills will involve gaining

fluency in spoken interactions with others, as well as

 practicing your pronunciation. To practice pronunciation

try reading aloud or repeating after a recorded text, trying

 to reproduce the pronunciation and intonation of the original.

  As in your first language, your writing will be improved by

 becoming a critical reader - try to think actively about how

texts are structured and what kinds of phrases or vocabulary

 are used for different purposes (e.g. introducing a topic,

describing, comparing and contrasting, writing conclusions).

General listening skills are your ability to understand meaning.

When someone speaks you understand what they want to say.

Focused listening skills are your ability to hear particular sounds.

Each language has a set of sounds: these are the vowels and

consonants specific to the language.

You should understand the main ideas of most speech in a

standard dialect.You should demonstrate an emerging

awareness of culturally implied meanings beyond the

surface meanings of the text.

2-Speaking

The ability to speak confidently and fluently is something

 which children will develop during their time at school,

and something that will help them throughout their life.

Speaking skills are defined as the skills which allow us to

 communicate effectively. They give us the ability to

convey information verbally and in a way that the listener

 can understand.

Children will learn English speaking skills as well as

speaking skills in other languages, in primary and

secondary school. Learning how to develop English

speaking skills is so important for ESL students and

 EAL students too. It's one of the most important

parts of language learning as speaking is how we

tend to communicate in everyday life.

Speaking is an interactive process where information

 is shared, and if necessary, acted upon by the listener.

 So, it’s important to develop both speaking and

 listening skills in order to communicate effectively.

You should be understood without difficulty by natives,

and converse in a clear and participatory fashion

You should be able to initiate, sustain, and bring

closure to a wide variety of communicative tasks.

4-Writing

You should be able to address a variety of topics with

significant precision and detail.

You should be able to write competently about topics

 relating to particular interests and write clearly about

special fields of competence.

You should be able to organize writings with a sense of

 theoretical structure.  Here are the five most common

 types of writing styles, a quick exploration of each and

some new strategies for teaching them.
