English Grammar

- active and passive
- skimming and scanning
- intensive and extensive
- referential and inferential
Right Answer: intensive and extensive
In English language teaching pedagogy (which is standard for teaching exams like CTET, HTET, and UPTET), the listening skill is categorized exactly like the reading skill:
- Intensive listening: This focuses on careful attention to specific details, sounds, words, or grammar. The goal is accuracy and language focus (e.g., listening to a short dialogue to hear specific pronunciation or answer a direct question).
- Extensive listening: This involves listening to longer, more generalized materials for overall understanding, fluency, and enjoyment without worrying about understanding every single word (e.g., listening to an English podcast, story, or movie).
