4 MAJOR DOMAINS OF LANGUAGE
Language is majr domain of communication carried out by humans with specific intentions and meanings. In speaking, humans must recognize several major domains of the language that supports them such as listening, reading, writing, and speaking. These four major domains must be owned by humans when communicating with each other. For example, when someone speaks, someone listens, and when someone writes, someone reads. This communication can be established either in monologue, dialogue or multilog. The following is a brief description of the four major domains of language as follows:
LISTEN
Listening is part of the activity of getting information from what we hear. This process occurs when someone is talking and or reading. We usually respond to the information we receive in an understanding form and store it in our minds only when the conversation is one-way (monologue). If we respond in the form of understanding and respond by speaking, dialogue will occur (two-way conversation). If the communication is in the form of discussion and so on (multilog), then the response from all of that is in different directions alternately.
SPEAK
Speaking is one of level major domains beside listening. In childhood, our ability is limited to listening. We can still talk only to a certain extent. Not everything we see we can repeat or respond to. Usually the beginner speaking stage is only limited to imitating the sound heard without understanding its meaning. With the development of the cognitive domain in humans, the advanced level of reasoning from hearing is listening, and responding with meaningful utterances.

READ
Reading is an major domain of language that continues after hearing and speaking. When we repeat what the person said, we repeat the same words, and so on. Then, what we hear and what we read by repeating it from other people can be illustrated in the form of sounds or language symbols. Starting from letters, sentences, paragraphs to discourse. We can also write down the arrangement of symbols or letters that represent what other people say in written form; and the writing will also be read back by others. For example we say "R E A D", then we will write it with "Read" and then other people will read it with "Read" too.
WRITE
Writing is something we observe and read which is poured into written form. In writing, we need to have other reading references, both oral and written. So, it can't stand alone.
The language in the major domains of reading, writing, listening and speaking has differences that are not so significant. Listening is definitely hearing and hearing is not necessarily listening; a book must be paper, but paper is not necessarily a book. The same goes for reading and speaking. Reading uses books as media, and so on, but speaking certainly uses books. In other words, the differences between the four are sometimes similar and sometimes different in certain ways. However, these four major domains of language really need to be applied as a form of communication between one person and another, or with groups, and so on in the form of social relations between humans in the form of communication which of course uses these four major domains of language.
