  • Why are your receptive skills (listening and reading) better than your productive skills (speaking and writing)?

    In this episode:

    We'll discuss why your ability to understand a language is often stronger than your ability to speak or write it, and explore strategies to bridge the gap between receptive and productive language skills. Drawing on concepts like the "Noticing Hypothesis" and the "Output Hypothesis," we'll dive into practical tips for enhancing your speaking and writing abilities in English.

    • The importance of noticing language features like grammar structures, phrases, and linking words
    • How to actively practice using new vocabulary and expressions
    • Techniques for building productive language skills, including recording yourself and spaced repetition
    • How output practice can help consolidate language into long-term memory

    Tune in to learn strategies that will help you become a more confident, autonomous English speaker and writer!
