INTEGRATED SKILLS
When learning a language, there are four significant elements "listening, speaking, reading, and writing"; these are called the (integrated skills). When we joined the Department of Translation, most of students did not have the capability of speaking or listening or writing or even reading perfectly, and of course they were shocked by these elements, but step by step those students improved themselves by themselves and with the help of their professors in every field of language.
To avoid any problem that you might witness, let’s talk about what you will do to improve every above-mentioned skill:
Speaking is one of the most important elements, to speak well, you have to practice ceaselessly with someone professional in English or if you don't have anyone qualified to speak English language with, you have to hold a conversation with yourself at home in front of the mirror.
In order to listen in a good way, you have to tune your ears to a clear language, I mean the standard language not the slang one and the best means of improving your listening capabilities is to listen to the BBC WORLD NEWS.
As for reading, you have to adapt yourself on reading books, magazines and newspapers, from time to time or browsing internet websites to be in touch with the latest developments and to read English language loudly.
To be a good writer, you must possess the capacity of these two elements: good Vocabulary and good background in Grammar to be a qualified one.
There is one more thing, that is to avoid losing information, since language is not mathematics or chemistry that depends upon equations for instance, 1+1=2 and H2+O= H2O. This is why; you have to update your mind with the latest knowledge and pieces of information to feed up your Brain.
