MACRO SKILLS
As future language teachers, we need to facilitate the
development of 5-macro skills. These are listening,
speaking, reading, writing and viewing. These
are essential for communication.
Listening is a prerequisite to understanding. It is the skill of
grasping and decoding information during the exchange of
messages. Listening is the beginning of understanding and a
valuable key to effective communication. It is the task of getting
the meaning of what is being heard (Underwood, 2009).
