Concerning your question about productive and receptive skills, I suppose this is because in reading and listening the students mostly receive the information (of course they are doing a lot and these skills are quite difficult but still the information is produced by someone else), however in the productive skills (writing and speaking) the students have to create/produce the information themselves. Both processes are active, but differently.
