If you have a Polish mobile phone, you could help us…
You can help Tatiana our autistic daughter with her special needs by sending an SMS to the number 75 165 with the text "POMOC 1859".
You could equally help George our son who also has autism with an SMS to 75 165 containing the text "POMOC 1860"
If you want to do good to all three then my wife Elena's fund is "POMOC 1859" . This supplies some of the needs of her multiple sclerosis.
These SMS's, if you are so generous, cost 6,15 PLN each, including VAT. Of this, 5.00 PLN appears on the sub-account of the beneficiary.
For more details, see www.fundacjaavalon.pl
Remember you need to be in Poland in the Polish mobile system for this to work.
Many thanks in advance if you feel so moved as to do it.

How about “Thinking”?
It’s true you need to think while doing all the other things, but you can be thinking (in the target language, if you wish), while doing none of those other things, ergo it is a separate skill or function (I would argue).
LikeLike
That’s a great point, but thinking is actually a mechanism, I would say, by which those four functions work. And even if you consider thought as the inner voice it still becomes a bit like speaking. Maybe thinking or the act of thought could be represented by the black diamond in the middle. Sapir-Whorff’s hypothesis talks about language being the tool of thought and thought being not possible without language, but I would say that only when the learner of a second language achieves fluency of speech can he demonstrate that he actually thinks in a language.
On that note, dreaming can be another. I have had dreams where I am looking at kanji and remembering how to pronounce them, but this is simply subconscious processing of material learned during waking time. Very earlier on in my study of Russian I said a sentence in Russian in a dream, but this doesn’t really amount to the level of thinking in a language that I would now be doing in something like Polish, discussing some accounting issue without recourse to English unless I need to recall a fact I learned by reading the book in English or having undergone training in English.
In summary in a sense thought underpins all the four functions but really thinking in the language only comes to the fore in the case of speaking, where to an extent you are forced to think in the language – you don’t have time to translate it from English.
But each activity you do apart from dreaming effectively shows up a combination of one or more of the Four Functions via which the thinking is manifested.
Are you able to agree with that?

ah…just spotted mis-spelling…. controling should read “controlling”

In my experience, interferences from being other than monolingual can indeed affect my use of English, including spelling. If I’m not paying explicit attention to my spelling, _negotiate_ might come out _negociate_, for instance, or I might use a phonetically equivalent word such as _their_ for _there_ even though I have known the difference perfectly well for most of my life. I even find the effects to reach into idiomatic expression, vocabulary, and grammar, as well: “To _speak_ [language x]” might be expressed as “to _have_ [language x]”; “take your time and think it over” might come out “think it over with calm”; or I might have trouble deciding at the moment of utterance whether it’s “consist _of_” or “consist _in_”. Many parallel sorts of interferences can similarly arise in the areas of word order, morphology, and semantics (why do we say _injustice_ but _unjust_, for example?).
Of course, I would argue that this is all part of the process of better first-language awareness brought about by becoming versant in another language (as mentioned by our leader at https://huliganov.tv/2013/03/07/should-you-first-master-your-own-language-before-learning-another/ ), and I’d also argue that the benefits pay back a thousand fold on the extra efforts incurred. As far as the specific challenges noted above, a bit of time, space, and reflection to think it through outside the conversation always sorts out the most natural, probable spelling/expression for a native speaker of my circumstances (that I say not “of my circumstance”!!!!) and prepares me to continue speaking it correctly, but with newfound intentionality, in the future.

One for the pot.
I Can see that the learner would find it very difficult to increase his/her speaking speed beyond their current maximum (constrained as it is by grammatical knowledge , vocabulary store, and even physical ability to produce the correct sounds) but they could speak more slowly than they need to thus controling the pace of delivery. But am I misreading the diagram ?

I always enjoy a cleverly drawn diagram! My impression of this one is that writing and listening skills come from reading practice, and speaking comes from those. But that’s only one sentence, so I look forward to seeing what you’ll do with this.
