second
language acquisition, is never a purely cognitive process. So, the abilities to listen, speaking, reading, and writing are considered to have the same weight. I do not agree with this

learn English according to their own understanding. For example

very important for foreign dialect learners who need to understand or express specific content.

With these inputs, it is possible to write different styles of writing, such
as essays, e-mails, advertisements, etc., to express one's ideas
In conclusion listening and speaking are very important for communication-oriented foreign speech learners; For students who want to learn or express more complex content, reading and writing are more important. At the same time input subjects, such
as listening and reading, for beginners is more important, these are the premises of output( Classified discussion)Submitted by 1339232976 on
