Method Teachers Should Consider to Integrate the Language Skills in EFL Classroom
Integrated skill Approach allows teachers to track
students, progress in multiple skills at the same time. Integrating the
language skills also promotes the learning of real content, not just the dissection
of language forms. Finally, the integrated-skill approach, whether found in
content-based or task-based language instruction or some hybrid form, can be
highly motivating to students of all ages and backgrounds.
In order to integrate the language skills in ESL/EFL
instruction, teachers should consider taking these steps:
They should learn more about the various ways to
integrate baggage skills in the classroom.
They should reflect on their current approach and
evaluate the extent to which the skills are integration;
They should choose instructional materials,
textbooks, and technologies that promote the integration of listening, reading
speaking, and writing, as well as the associated skills of syntax, vocabulary,
and so on. Even if a given course is labeled according to just one skill, one
should remember that it is possible to integrate the other language skills
through appropriate tasks;
They should teach language learning strategies and
emphasize that a given strategy can often enhance performance in multiple
skills.
