As an English-speaking person, we often take for granted the importance of the reasons/motives behind listening and reading. We would not identify the motives (for purpose or for entertainment). We just listen or read. However learning the motives would help students to learn the language in a more effective/efficient way since there could be different approaches in teaching the receptive skills if we understand the motives behind it.To develop the a good skills of a non native speaker it is necessary, first of all, to show how things are in Englis, it can be done with samples of all kind of texts. Several expressions is also possible to teach regarding the topics that has been studied, if possible, in a way that let the learners curious and interested. A lot of reading practice can be useful and helpful to improve the knowledge of vocabulary and spelling as well.
