L-S-R-W is the four
skills of language learning, a set of four capabilities that allow an
individual to comprehend and produce spoken language for proper and effective
interpersonal communication. These skills are Listening, Speaking, Reading, and
Writing.
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.
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.
Speaking
Language is a tool for
communication. We communicate with others, to express our ideas, and to know
others’ ideas as well. We must take into account that the level of language
input (listening) must be higher than the level of language production. In
primary schools elocution and recitation are main sources to master the sounds,
rhythms, and intonation of the English language through simple reproduction.
The manifestations of the language in games and pair work activities are
encouraging source to learn to speak the language. This assists the learners to
begin to manipulate the language by presenting them with a certain amount of
choice, albeit within a fairly controlled situation. This skill could be
improved by understanding para-linguistic attributes such as voice quality,
volume and tone, voice modulation, articulation, pronunciation etc. This could
also be further enhanced with the help of debates and discussions.
Reading
Reading is a learning
skill. It helps you improve all parts of the English language – vocabulary,
spelling, grammar, and writing. It helps to develop language intuition in the
corrected form. Then the brain imitates them, producing similar sentences to
express the desired meaning. Using skimming or scanning technique to read
quickly is highly effective. While reading underlining of key words is a must.
Reading Skills help the students grasp the content and draw conclusions. The
students should also make it a point to familiarize themselves with the jargons
and new words by making reading a habit be it reading newspapers, articles,
books, magazines etc
Writing
Writing provides a
learner with physical evidence of his achievements and he can measure his
improvement. It helps to consolidate their grasp of vocabulary and structure,
and complements the other language skills. It helps to understand the text and
write compositions. It can foster the learner’s ability to summarize and to use
the language freely. To write flawless language one should excel in the Writing
Skills with the help of various methods. Importance should be given to
composition and creative writing. One should also focus on coherence and
cohesiveness when it comes to writing a language.
With these four skills
addressed equally while learning English, the learners can be assured of having
good communication skills, a great necessity in today’s competitive world.
