CHAPTER 3: LANGUAGE SKILLS AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE SKILLS.

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE FOUR SKILLS

Mastering the English language demands proficiency in four skills: speaking, reading, writing, and listening Speaking is the skill that allows students to express themselves verbally It encompasses pronunciation, vocabulary, and fluency Effective speaking helps learners engage in conversations, participate in class discussions, and communicate their ideas confidently It's an essential skill for language acquisition Reading involves the ability to understand written texts, which is crucial for comprehending and learning from various sources such as textbooks, articles, and literature Effective reading skills enable students to extract meaning from text, expand their vocabulary, and grasp the nuances of the language Writing is the skill that empowers students to express their thoughts in a structured and coherent manner through text It includes grammar, syntax, and vocabulary usage For English learners, writing proficiency is essential for academic essays, creative expression, and professional communication Listening is the ability to comprehend

spoken language, and it is vital for language acquisition and effective communication Proficient

listening skills help students understand lectures, follow instructions, and engage in conversations

In language learning, active listening supports the development of vocabulary and an understanding

of pronunciation and intonation, enhancing overall language proficiency In studying English, these four skills are interconnected and reinforce one another Effective speaking improves listening

comprehension, and strong reading skills contribute to better writing Moreover, language learners often find that these skills overlap when applying English in practical situations These skills are not only essential for academic success but also for personal and professional development

Listening: You can watch some videos or movies( it can be with sub or unsub) to improve the way you hear people say, you can hear how they speak, their accents , their intonation patterns You also can try to listen to some conversation of foreigners, I believe its has the similar effect with the movies ways so you can do one or both of them if you like , its up to you

Speaking: For this one , I usually enhance my speaking skill by imitate Yes that’s right! Imitating

or copying someone is a wonderful way to improve your speaking skill, it will help you become more accurate in English without having to learn gramma rules and with lots of practice you will begin to remember chunks of words and phrases

Reading: About this skill, I really don’t practice it so much but here are some tips for it You can set aside time to read each day, you can set aside to 10 or 15 minutes each day to read, you can read news articles, fiction, magazine or any kind of text you want Next, you can preview the texts you read you can apply this strategy by previewing titles, captions, headlines and other text features to get an idea of what you are reading about

Writing: To improve this skill you can try to improve your vocabulary, with it you may learn better ways to find more descriptive words to say, this also builds your confidence in your writing You can also seek for inspiration from other sources, find writers you admire and become familiar with how they write, what voice they portray and what words they like to use
