What are the skills of a language?
Alex Ar [27]

Namely, most human language feature four skills, divided into productive skills and receptive skills.

  • Productive skills: speaking and writing.
  • Receptive skills: listening and reading.

For a long time, human languages only featured one productive skill, speaking, and one receptive skill, listening.
