"THE ROLE OF LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLS IN EFECTIVE LANGUAGE LEARNING"
Abstract
Listening and speaking are foundational components in the process of acquiring a new language. These two receptive and productive skills are often interdependent and influence each other significantly. This article explores the integral role of listening and speaking in language acquisition, emphasizes their importance in both formal education and real-world communication, and suggests strategies for educators and learners to enhance these skills effectively.
