Q61. Listening and reading are classified as which type of skills?
(A) Productive skills
(B) Creative skills
(C) Receptive skills
(D) Expressive skills

Show Answer/Hide

Answer – (C)

Explanation: In language pedagogy, skills are categorized into two main groups:

  • Receptive skills (Passive skills): Listening and reading, because the learner receives and decodes incoming information without producing new text or speech.
  • Productive skills (Active/Expressive skills): Speaking and writing, where the learner actively creates and produces language.

Answer – (C)

Explanation: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of study. Unlike the Grammar-Translation Method (which focuses on memorizing grammar rules and word-for-word translation), CLT prioritizes communicative competence—enabling learners to use the target language effectively and meaningfully in real-world contexts.

(C) were praised for
(D) their bravery during the storm

  • Corrected sentence: “The captain along with his crew members was praised for their bravery during the storm.”
