So get the language skills that includes four aspects of skills, namely: listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, and speaking skills. This skill is intended to realize a high goal, namely to equip students' competence to understand the correct and clear language expression. Grammatical rules are a means to teach novice students to read and express the correct sounds of this language. Indonesians who learn Arabic have many problems writing and speaking in Arabic, including novice issues and rules. Because essentially, all language skills are related to each other. This can be analogous to a child who wants to learn the mother tongue. So the language skills are closely related to the processes that underlie the acquisition of a person's language. Since language is a reflection of a person's mindset or thinking, he or she should master these skills well. Although it is to master the four language skills is very difficult. But it is not impossible to master the four language skills.

We reveal our experience of implementing project activities to develop different communicative skills such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing. The paper deals with special approaches while developing project stages for each skill. In the article, listening skills are presented as the most difficult ones for the students to acquire within the project method activity. Even the most advanced learners need to prolong working on listening and will find that there are some words or collocations which are difficult to understand the first time they hear them. It can be stated that project method implementation into class activities comprises all language skills which are interconnected, meanwhile, reading skills are the basis of writing activity and enlarge an individual’s vocabulary, knowledge about the world around or inner outlook.

Researchers have investigated the influences on mathematics achievement of general reading ability, of instruction in special reading skills, of knowledge of vocabulary and syntax, of listening skills, of the verbal styles of teachers, and of verbal interactions within the classroom. In most cases, the investigators found evidence of a significant relationship between measures of mathematics achievement and measures of selected language skills. Thus, it seems appropriate to ask the question, Do the practices in teaching language have implications for teaching mathematics?
