The document discusses integrating the four language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking in English language teaching. It argues that integrating the skills mirrors realistic communication and enhances students' competence. The easiest integration is from receptive to productive skills, such as reading then writing. More complex integration combines activities using different skills linked by a common theme. While integrating skills requires more teacher preparation and flexibility, it should still be pursued as it provides authentic language exposure for students.
