how are the skills of listening and speaking developed

Generally in the 8th grade have a good development of listening and speaking skill because since 5 grade they have been practicing these skill in English, in order to understand what they have learnt and how to use this second language.

to reforce reading activities with listening and speaking tasks help the students to manage in better way what they are learning. Nowadays exists different ways annd form to develop listening skill, one of them, is the Tics such a computer programs, radio and music, throught music the students get engage and enjoy the language.

I realized that speaking tasks are more complcated than listening tasks because the students don't want to be exposed in front of the class, participate in activity or speak english in public, they are afraid to make language mistakes and don't feel self confident about their pronunciation. In fact, this part is their weakness, but if they will get a mark about a report, always the results were good.

In conclusion, integrate these skill in one activities during the class is the way to reforce in the students the adquisition of this second language in a active form.
