FOUR SKILLS IN COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING REVISITED AND REVISED
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article raises the revisited and revised problem of the theory of the traditional “four skills” (reading, speaking, listening, writing) in continuous teaching, their permanent correlations with the two more interdependent, interconnected and interlinked skills: “thinking” and ”understanding”(blended by us into “thunderstanding”), the status and role of which prove no less important than the other four in any continuous quality (language) learning.
