Teaching the four English skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) can help you
become a more effective communicator, improve your critical thinking and problem-
solving skills, and enhance your ability to collaborate with others.

Developing your reading skills can help you understand complex texts and ideas, while
improving your writing skills can help you express your thoughts and ideas more
clearly. Strengthening your speaking and listening skills can help you communicate
effectively with others, build relationships, and succeed in your personal and
professional life.

As learning tools, writing exercises are valuable because they help students think
critically about course material while encouraging them to grasp, organize, and
integrate prior knowledge with new concepts. Furthermore, good communication skills
are valuable assets both in and out of the classroom.

Writing causes students to think through topics or defend a position. Through this

process, students gain an understanding of logical thinking and the best way to present
their ideas. They learn the difference between facts and opinions, and they learn how
to support their ideas with facts.

In the classroom, speaking skills enable individual children to ask questions, to offer
information, and to say if they do or do not understand. The classroom can be the
child's most important environment for learning how to express their own ideas and to
hear the ideas of others.

Grammar helps us to convey information in a way that the listener will recognise and
understand. Pronunciation: Understanding how to correctly pronounce words is
another important element of speaking skills. We learn how to pronounce words by
listening to those around us, such as our parents, friends and teachers.
What are the advantages of teaching speaking skills?

 Improve your research skills.

 Advance your career.
 Build your confidence.
 Strengthen your critical thinking skills.
 Exercise your deductive reasoning.
 Represent your organization.
 Improve your oral communication skills.
 Expand your network.

Active listening promotes mindful thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depression in
students. It can also help students build relationships because as they engage
themselves in conversation, their peers are more likely to view them as open and
interested.

Benefits of Learning to Listen:

 Improve communication. Active listening lets us understand what others think,

feel, and want to convey.
 Increase learning. Listening helps us learn and assimilate knowledge from
different sources.
 Strengthen bonds between people.
 Improve mental health.

Learn easily other language: When you learn the four skills of a language well, it
becomes much easier to learn another language because you already know what
strategies or activities you can do to improve each skill.

More opportunities: learning a language helps you to have more job and academic
opportunities.
Help other students: You can help your colleagues to improve or in the case of the
teacher you can give more support and teaching to your students.

Evidence of their own ability: One of the ways to demonstrate your ability is to have
the same level in the four skills of a language and if not, to be able to identify your
strengths and weaknesses in order to improve.

Exchange real information: Currently most of the information is in English, so it is

important to handle this language and we can see this when we have to do the
integrative projects each semester.
