- 24. Mastering Macroskills: Effective Teaching and Assessment Strategies
- 26. MACROSKILLS Macro skills refer to the primary, key, main, and largest skillset relative to a particular context. It is commonly referred to in the English language. (Alla Echoldt, 2020).
- 27. MACROSKILLS Refer to the four core skills in language learning: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Mastery of these skills is essential for effective communication. Each skill contributes uniquely to a learner's proficiency and overall language development.
- 30. Receptive Macroskills These involve receiving and understanding language. Listening: Understanding what someone says. Example: Hearing someone say, "How are you?" and realizing they’re asking about your well-being. Reading: Understanding written words or text. Example: Reading a sign that says, "No parking here."
- 31. Productive Macroskills These involve producing language or actively communicating. Speaking: Talking to someone, like introducing yourself or answering a question. Example: Saying, "My name is Sarah, and I love reading books." Writing: Writing sentences, like sending a text or an email. Example: Writing, "Can we meet tomorrow at 3 PM?"
- 32. Receptive and Productive Macroskills Listening and speaking are oral skills. Reading and writing are literacy skills. Each week, teachers should include one of the activities which focus on developing the students’ oral skills (e.g. pair and group interactions and games and some activities which focus on literacy skills (e.g. reading and analyzing texts and then students write their own.
- 33. Look at these pictures of the things you usually do as student. Rank them according to importance based on your own perspective 1 as the most important and 5 being the least important.
- 35. What factors did you take into account when deciding which task was the most important and which was the least important?
- 36. What are receptive skills? And productive skills?
- 38. Listening A communication technique that requires the listener to understand, interpret and evaluate what he or she hears. Listening is the most important skill in communication. It is a mental operation involving processing sound waves, interpreting their meaning, and storing them in the memory.
- 39. Speaking A delivery of language through the mouth. To speak, we create sounds using the many parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords, tongue, teeth and lips. In your own language, speaking is the second language skill that we learn. This vocalized form of language usually requires only one listener. When two or more people speak or talk to each other , the conversation is called “dialogue”.
- 40. Reading A fundamental skill for learners, not just for learning but for life (traves 1994) with reading being defined as – the ability to draw meaning from the printed page and interpret this information appropriately. Reading comprehension involves decoding systems with the intention of deriving meaning from the text. This can be used for sharing knowledge, for self-improvement or simply for relaxation.
- 41. Writing A process of using symbols to communicate thoughts and ideas in a readable form. Writing allows for a more meaningful and in-depth transmission of ideas compared to speaking:
- 42. Writing Process 1. Pre-writing 2. Drafting 3. Revising 4. Proofreading 5. Publishing
- 43. Viewing Refers to the ability to perceive meaning from visual images and presentations. This is a process that supports oracy and literacy. Viewers broadens the ways which students can understand and communicate their ideas through non-verbal communication.
- 44. Ways to present ideas visually: 1. Drawings 2. Photographs 3. Organizational graphs and Charts 4. Videos 5. Multimedia 6. Web Pages – Web-based correspondence.
- 45. Ways to present ideas visually: Drawings Viewing Use: Observing and interpreting a hand- drawn house plan to understand the layout and design. Example: An architect presenting a blueprint, and the viewer analyzes it for potential improvements.
- 46. Ways to present ideas visually: Photographs Viewing Use: Looking at a photograph to understand or appreciate its message, mood, or context. Example: A teacher showing a historical photo during a history class to discuss its significance.
- 47. Ways to present ideas visually: Organizational Graphs and Charts Viewing Use: Analyzing a bar chart to evaluate trends or draw conclusions from data. Example: A student viewing a pie chart to understand market share distribution in a business project.
- 48. Ways to present ideas visually: Videos Viewing Use: Watching a video to learn, gather insights, or be entertained. Example: Employees viewing a safety training video to understand workplace protocols.
- 49. Ways to present ideas visually: Multimedia Viewing Use: Interacting with and interpreting multimedia elements, such as animations, text, and images, to gain knowledge or solve problems. Example: Students viewing an interactive educational module on a website.
- 50. Ways to present ideas visually: Web Pages – Web-based Correspondence Viewing Use: Reading and navigating web pages to find and understand relevant information. Example: Viewing a company’s website to learn about their products or contact them through an email form.
- 52. Do productive and expressive skills the same?
- 53. Productive Skills: These refer to the ability to produce language or content. In language learning, productive skills are speaking and writing, as they involve actively creating and sharing information. Expressive Skills: These are broader and refer to the ability to convey thoughts, emotions, or ideas effectively. Expressive skills may include speaking and writing, but they also encompass non- verbal communication (like body language, facial expressions, or artistic forms such as drawing, singing, or acting). In summary, all productive skills are expressive, but expressive skills go beyond just producing language—they include any form of meaningful communication.
