We can never separate between the four skills of English , there should be an integrity of skills so we assure a better learning of any language , not only English .. The reason is that every language is a means of communication, a system in itself so the skills and strategies should interrelate .. Reading and listening are the receptive skills, while speaking and writing are the productive ones .. so , the purpose is to assess and evaluate outcomes and productions resulting from both types of skills .. For example, if you listen or read a text, you can't stop there .. you will speak or write about what you've listened to or read , try to express and communicate to others your ideas, your thoughts, your feelings ! Maybe, you like a skill because you're good at or find easier to deal with, but you can and should never ignore other skills ..
