This document discusses integrating the four language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing. It defines the integrated skills approach as interweaving the skills for optimal communication, unlike the traditional segregated approach. It describes two basic models of integration - simple integration within the same medium, and complex integration through a series of linked activities. Five models for skills integration are then outlined: content-based instruction, task-based language teaching, theme-based teaching, experiential learning, and using episodes. The document concludes that the integrated skills approach exposes learners to authentic language use and promotes learning real content over isolated language forms.
Communicative Language Teaching is the cornerstone for approaches that have shifted from a grammar-based language view to a functional view of language where communication is the main objective. Such approaches are CBI (Content-based instruction) and TBI (Task-based instruction). Today, both CBI and TBI are the leading approaches most teachers are currently using to teach a second/foreign language around the world. Both approaches have been proven to be effective, and the most important thing is that students are truly learning to use language to communicate their ideas to different audiences.
Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT), also known as task-based instruction (TBI), focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language. Such tasks can include visiting a doctor, conducting an interview, or calling customer service for help.

For those ELT teachers who are carrying out reading classes at the level of primary school or teaching ELLs, I highly recommend you to peruse and take a look at this approach because it focuses on the teaching of language arts, which is the teaching reading and writing.

Coloniality and ELT education programs: the need for disrupting alternatives ...Yamith José Fandiño Parra
This presentation will call for disruptive research practices that not only can question the rhetoric of modernity and the logic of coloniality, but also position epistemic disobedience and a grammar of decoloniality (Mignolo, 2010) in the production of knowledge in foreign language education programs (Fandiño, 2021). It will do so by first going over coloniality in general and coloniality of knowledge in particular. Then, it will discuss knowledge production in the field of foreign language education. After that, it will propose some preliminary ideas about the decolonization of research in foreign language education programs. Finally, it will encourage participants infuse their own research agendas and research projects with disruptive alternatives.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

4. OPENINGACTIVITIES
• Read the following quotation. What kind of
instruction do you think the authors are
encouraging?
From the 1970’s, most ELT professionals have noticed that
that the teaching of language skills can not be conducted
through separate and discrete structural elements. In real
life, people do not use reading, listening, writing skills in
isolation. All these skills together serve as a bridge that
connects a person with a society (Pysarchyk &
Yamshynska, 2015, p. 78).
5. WHATISTHEINTEGRATEDSKILLSAPPROACH?
A favorite image for teaching EFL is that of a tapestry, as it is
woven from many strands.
- EFL: The characteristics of the teacher (e.g. teaching style,
prior experience, etc.), the learner (e.g. personality, language
learning beliefs, etc.), the setting (e.g. available resources,
institutional values, etc.) and the relevant languages (e.g. the
native language, the target language, their cultural background,
etc.).
- For the instructional circle to produce a large, strong, beautiful,
colorful tapestry, the just-mentioned strands must be
interwoven in positive ways.
6. WHATISTHEINTEGRATEDSKILLSAPPROACH?
Besides the four strands mentioned above, other important
strands exist in the tapestry.
In a practical sense, one of the most crucial of these
strands consists of the four primary skills (listening,
reading, speaking and writing) and associated skills
(vocabulary, spelling, pronunciation, syntax, meaning and
usage).
Optimal EFL communication is present when all the
skills are interwoven during instruction.
7. WHATISTHEINTEGRATEDSKILLSAPPROACH?
SEGREGATED SKILL INSTRUCTION
It is a traditional instruction approach, in which the mastery of discrete
language skills like reading or speaking is seen as the key to
successful learning. Additionally, there is typically a separation of
language learning from content learning.
Focus on the forms of language predisposed curriculum designers to
segment courses into the separate languageskills.
Administrative considerations still make it easier to program separate
courses.
Certain specific purposes for which students are studying English may best
be labeled by one of the four skills, especially at the high intermediate
to advanced levels.
8. WHATISTHEINTEGRATEDSKILLAPPROACH?
INTEGRATEDSKILLINSTRUCTION
It is an innovating approach that consists of the linking of the
language skills for the purpose of real communication. This
instructional approach favors integrated skills, that is, the skills
are interlocked, exactly as they are in everyday life. This is so as it
is understood that practice with any given skill reinforces other
skills.
Production and reception are two sidesof thesamecoin. Often one skill
will reinforceanother.
Written and spoken language bear arelationship to eachother.
Most of natural performance involves not only the integration of one or
more skills, but connections between language and the way we think,
feel and act
9. HOWCANTEACHERSINTEGRATESKILLSINA
BASICWAY?
Simple integration.
The easiest form of integration is within the same medium
(either oral or written), from receptive to productive skills.
Receptive skill Productive skill
Oral medium listening speaking
Written medium reading writing
In other words, we would use a listening text as a model for the
students’ speaking, and a reading text as a model for the
students’ writing. This is common practice among teachers, and
we will call it simple integration.
10. HOWCANTEACHERSINTEGRATESKILLSINA
BASICWAY?
Complex integration.
This involves constructing a series of activities that use a variety of skills.
In each of the activities, there is realistic, communicative use of language.
For example, look at this sequence of activities:
Reading activity: Students look at a poster giving information about an
English Club.
Oral activity: Students make up a dialogue between the club secretary
and a person who wants to join the club.
Writing activity: Students complete a membership application form for
the English Club based on their partner’s information.
Notice how one activity is closely linked thematically to the next. The
information that the students get from the reading is useful in the oral
activity, while the writing activity is based on information from the oral
activity.
12. FIVEMODELSINTHESKILLSINTEGRATIONAPPROACH
Content-basedinstruction
It integrates the learning of some specific subject matter content
with the learning of a second language. The second language is
simply the medium to convey informational content of interest and
relevance to the learner.
Learners focus on useful, practical non-language objectives as the
subject matter is perceived to be relevant to long-term goals.
As you plan a lesson around a particular subtopic of your subject-
matter area, students integrate all four skills as they read, discuss,
solve problems, analyze data, and write opinions and reports.
14. Task-basedlanguage teaching
The priority is not the forms of language, but rather the
functional purposes for which language must be used such as
exchanging opinions, expressing feelings, asking for permission,
etc.
The importance of organizing a course around real world
communicative tasks that learners need to engage in outside the
classroom: a job interview, a recipe, public announcements, e-
mails, invitations,etc.
The course goals center on learners’ pragmatic language
competence by maintaining appropriateness according to
purposes and contexts asthe center of attention.

16. Theme-basedteaching
Courses focus on topics, situations, or "themes" as one of their
organizing parameters.
Language skills are enhanced, but through focal attention to topic and
peripheral attention to language.
Challenging topics engage the curiosity and increase motivation of
students as they grapple with an array of real-life issues ranging from
simple to complex.
FIVEMODELSINTHESKILLSINTEGRATIONAPPROACH
18. Experientiallearning
Experiential learning gives students concrete experiences through
which they "discover" language principles by trial and error, by
processing feedback and by building hypotheses about language.
Teachers do not simply tell students about how language works;
instead, they give students opportunities to use language as they
grapple with the problem-solving complexities of a variety of
concreteexperiences.
Experiential learning techniques tend to be learner-centered such as
hands-on projects, field trips and other “on-site” visits, role plays and
simulations, cross-cultural experiences (camps, dinner groups, etc.),
etc.

20. Theepisode hypothesis
-
Language presentation is enhanced when students receive
interconnected sentences in interest-provoking episodes rather
than in adisconnected series of sentences.
Episodes can be presented in either written or spoken form and
students, in turn, can respond tothem by speaking or writing.
Students can be encouraged to write their own episodes,
complete an episode whose resolution or climax is not
presented, or dramatize written episodes.
FIVEMODELSINTHESKILLSINTEGRATIONAPPROACH
21. -
The integrated skill approach (ISA) exposes EFL learners to authentic
language and challenges them to interact naturalistically in the
language.
In the ISA, learners rapidly gain a true picture of the richness and
complexity of the English language as employed for communication.
English becomes a real means of interaction and sharing among
people.
Integrating the language skills also promotes the learning of real
content, not just the dissection of language forms.
Finally, the ISA (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.
SUMMARY
22. Read the following statements. Check if they are TRUE or FALSE.
-
___ Optimal EFL communication is present when the skills are segregated
during instruction.
___ In the integrated skill approach, there is typically a separation of
language learning from content learning.
___ In simple integration, the teacher prepares class activities within the
same medium (either oral or written) and starting with receptive first to then
go to productive skills.
___ In task-based language teaching, the priority is not presenting the
forms of language, but rather working with real world communicative tasks
that learners need to be able to engage in authentic interactions outside
the classroom.
___ Experiential learning gives students opportunities to work with
interconnected sentences in interest-provoking episodes.
