Language is a primary means of communication and is a human link. Speaking and listening are both necessary for understanding and feeling the dynamics of a discussion or connection, however, communication does not solely involve speaking. Nearly a billion people use English as a medium of communication daily, and it is now used in every aspect of society, according to statistics. The fact that English has become a universal language indicates that learning it is becoming increasingly necessary for all ages, including youth and seniors. Receptive skills in particular rank highly, therefore contemporary pedagogy has been dealing with many curriculum-related problems. This paper aims to clarify the importance of receptive skills as well as focus highly on some productive methods for teaching them in ESL and EFL classrooms.
