READING, WRITING, SPEAKING AND LISTENING

Traditionally, language teachers have considered it necessary to teach
their students all four skills: Reading, writing, speaking and listening. The
idea is that speaking reinforces listening, writing reinforces reading, etc.
Traditionally, students have been young, the teacher did not know which
skills (reading, writing, speaking or listening) they would need in later life.
But you are studying a course which concentrates only on reading. The
question is: Is it possible to read without knowing the pronunciation?
Evidence from studies of deaf-mutes (who cannot speak or listen) indicates
that it is possible to read silently without mental “pronunciation” of the
words (sub-vocalization). There are thousands of people in the world who
cannot speak a language but who can read it. Reading is probably the most
useful and durable skill of the four, for most students.

1. Cuántas y cuáles habilidades se han considerado tradicionalmente que

comprende el dominio de un idioma?
R: Se considera tradicionalmente que el dominio del idioma se basa en Leer,
Escribir, Hablar y Escuchar.

2. Cuáles son las razones que se dan para justificar una enseñanza que cubra todas
las habilidades?
R: Se justifica esta práctica en que estas habilidades se complementan entre sí,
por ejemplo leer refuerza la escritura, pronunciación y la escritura e viceversa.

3. Según la lectura, escriba un ejemplo como evidencia de que es posible

concentrarse en una sola habilidad.
R: el ejemplo más notorio lo evidencian estudios realizados a personas o
estudiantes sordos mudos los que nunca han oído o pronunciado pero que leen y
que para ello no se les hizo necesario poder pronunciar u oír lo que se lee.
 4. Cuál es la conclusión del texto?
R: El texto concluye que la lectura es la más practica y duradera habilidad que
aprenderán los estudiantes.

II.Lea el siguiente fragmento y luego escriba lo que entendió en español. (20 pts)
In conclusion, it seems that vocabulary can be a problem but it is only
one of the problems. It is probably not the most difficult problem – the
essential thing is to learn strategies for reading. If you have the correct
strategies, you will find the problem of vocabulary is vastly reduced.

En conclusión, el vocabulario puede ser un problema, pero, es solo uno

de ellos, es probable que no sea el problema de mayor dificultad, la cuestión
central se basa en aprender estrategias o técnicas para leer, si tienes la
técnica o estrategia correcta, encontraras el problema del vocabulario
reducido vastamente.
