Integrative teaching focuses on making connections between subjects rather than teaching isolated facts. It aims to link what is learned in school to real-life situations to develop problem-solving and discussion of real-world issues. Integrative teaching also considers individual learner differences like multiple intelligences and learning styles. Some techniques of integrative teaching include content-based instruction where language is used to learn new content, thematic teaching which organizes curriculum around broad themes, focusing inquiry where students investigate real-world questions of their choice, and generic competency models.
