ELT paves way to connect the productive skills and receptive skills. Prabhu (1987), Krashen (1985) and Elley and Mangubhai (1983) have stressed that language is acquired when attention is focused not on language form, but on the meaning of messages. Moving specifically into the area of literacy acquisition, a number of researchers have stressed the need for a balance of explicit skills instruction and a strongly meaningful language-learning environment (Adams 1990; Snow, Burns and Griffin 1998; Stanovich 2000). ELT concentrates to make it easy and help to bridge the gap between the burden of acquiring the language and comprehension.
