2. Speaking
It is obviously the second language skill which involves the production of sound, so it is also known as the productive or active skill. We communicate in our daily lives through speaking. Children must be given freedom to speak whatever they want to get more outcome from them. Speaking also helps to develop our pronunciation.
3. Reading

They also try to paraphrase the text which helps in enhancing their imagination and learning as well. Intensive reading is best when you have to focus on the details i.e it is actually a scanning.
4. Writing
Writing is the last and active skill you require to learn English. It requires the use of hand and brain to produce the writing symbols. It is the hardest skill asa it is the most complicated one. You make the use of Note Taking and Note Making to improve writing skills.
