Receptive and Productive Skills
Reading and Listening are called receptive skills because when we listen and
read something we receive the language, understand it and decode the meaning.
Speaking and writing are called productive skills because we use the language to
produce a message through speech or written text.
Receptive skills comprise silent reading and following the media. Productive skills
consist of oral presentations, written studies and reports. In addition, they also consist of
social values (i.e. making judgments of what has been submitted in writing or of fluency
in speaking and delivering oral presentations).
Productive skills, speaking and writing, are defined by Jaramillo and Medina
(2011) as an important form of expression used to persuade or convince other people
as well as to share ideas and feelings.
