The integration of the four language skills is a hallmark of the communicative approach. Listening and speaking are often linked in conversational contexts, while reading and writing are associated with literacy. Regarding the relationship between these skills, identify the correct statement.


A

Listening comprehension is a passive process where the brain simply records sounds without making any active inferences or using contextual clues.


B

Writing is a purely mechanical skill that does not require any prior exposure to reading or understanding the conventions of a specific genre.


C

The development of speaking skills is completely independent of listening, as humans possess an innate 'speech-only' module in the temporal lobe.


D

Effective communication requires the ability to use both receptive and productive skills in an integrated manner to negotiate meaning in real-time interactions.


E

Reading is considered a productive skill because the reader produces sounds aloud while interpreting the symbols on the page.
