Idea — Receptive skills — reading and listening — are how learners take in language. They receive meaning without producing it. Both require active processing, not passive absorption.
Example — A learner reads a news article without speaking a word, yet the brain is predicting, inferring, and checking meaning throughout.
Try — Think of the last time you learned something in a foreign language. Were you reading or listening? What made it easy or hard?
