PECULIARITIES OF INTEGRATING ALL LANGUAGE SKILLS

Abstract

This study explores various modes of integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in language instruction. Integrating these skills reflects their natural use in communication, enhancing overall language proficiency. The research involved two groups of language learners subjected to different instructional methods: traditional isolated skill instruction and integrated skill instruction through Content-Based Instruction (CBI), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), Project-Based Learning (PBL), and Thematic Units. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in language proficiency and communicative competence in the group exposed to integrated skill instruction.
