The Productive And Receptive Of Communication

Achievement of proficiency in the productive skills (speaking and writing) as well as in the receptive skills (listening and reading) constitute the major goal of any language teaching/learning activity. Consequently students of English need to be exposed to these important skills of communication since the experience gained in such endeavour not only affords them the opportunity to increase their own proficiencies, thus becoming better role models, but would also avail them the necessary insights in teaching the same skills.
