when dealing with the four skills. - Value the importance of the integration of
skills. - Order the steps of different lessons.
5Objectives
- By the end of this workshop participants will be
able to - Define reading subskills.
- Distinguish between the features of spoken and
written English. - Decide varied ways of integrating different
skills. - List the benefits of integrating skills.
- Discuss the integration of skills after viewing
the - video segments.
- Create an integrated skill activity to suit their
students.
6Integrated Skills Approach
7What are skills?
- Look at the picture and state the skill each
person has.
8- The ability to do something well needs to
continue to be consolidated and practised or we
can easily lose our skill - If Essam El-Hadri stopped practising, would he
continue to be a skilled goal keeper? - What about the sculptor ?
9What are the language skills involved in the
following pictures ?
- In real life, language skills never occur in
isolation.
Taking notes
Conversation
Filling in a form
Watch a film
10- In real life, language skills never occur in
isolation. - In conversations, we listen and speak.
- When filling in a form, we read and write.
- When taking notes, we listen and write.
- We watch a film, and we talk about it later.
- Often the use of one skill leads on naturally to
another.
11How can you integrate skills in a lesson?
- As in real life, skills are integrated with one
activity leading on to another

13Can one colour form a picture? Can one tool help
to form the picture? Can graded colours be that
effective? Can only one stitch be enough?

33What does integrated mean?
- When we integrate things, they combine, or work
together to make something more effective - An integrated system or organisation combines
different groups or ideas in a way that works
well
34Integrating skills
- The learner must develop skills and strategies
for using language to communicate meanings as
effectively as possible - (Littlewood, 2001)
35Integrating skills
What does integrating skills mean?
- Language skills are integrated they cooperate
with each other - (Lucantoni, 2002)
- Language users employ a combination of skills at
the same time - (Harmer, 1991)
36Why is it useful to integrate skills?
- It allows for the practice of Lg. as in the real
world. - Integrated lessons are more satisfying for
learners. They offer more variety - One single topic can be fully explored, and
vocabulary can be practised and recycled. - The same context or text can be used for another
activity, so the teacher does not have to waste
time setting up something new.
37Teaching effectiveness
Using the language skills together can lead to
Create active learning environment
Language retention
Lessons will be more interesting
Lessons will be more motivating
