These are usually taught formally in educational settings
once learners have already acquired listening and
speaking skills.

receptive skills and productive skills in communication AND

Receptive skills are those that involve receiving and
processing language input. These include listening and
reading, where the learner interprets and makes sense of
language that they hear or see.
Productive skills, on the other hand, require the learner
to produce language actively. These include speaking and
writing, where the learner communicates their thoughts
using language.
