1. Four Basic Languages Skills

2. Reading.
Writing
Listening.
Speaking.

3. Reading.  Reading is a complex "cognitive
process" of decoding symbols in
order to construct or derive
meaning (reading
comprehension).
 Reading is a means of language
acquisition, communication, and
of sharing information and ideas.
Like all languages, it is a complex
interaction between the text and
the reader which is shaped by the
reader’s prior knowledge,
experiences, attitude, and
language community which is
culturally and socially situated

4. Writing
 Writing is a medium of
human communication that
represents language and emotion
with signs and symbols. In most
languages, writing is a complement
to speech or spoken language.
Writing is not a language, but
a tool used to make languages be
read.

5. Listening.
 Listening is the ability to
accurately receive and
interpret messages in the
communication process.
 Listening is key to all effective
communication. Without the
ability to listen effectively,
messages are easily
misunderstood..

6. Speaking.
 Speaking: is an act of making
vocal sounds. We can say
that speaking means to
converse, or expressing one's
thoughts and feelings in spoken
language. ..
