This document discusses integrating language skills in the classroom. It begins with lead-in questions about language skills and their integration. It then defines the integrated skills approach as interweaving the four primary skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing) during instruction, as they are used together in real life. This contrasts with the traditional segregated skill instruction that teaches skills separately. The document provides examples of simple integration within a single skill and complex integration across multiple skills in a communicative, thematic way.

Role and importance of language in the curriculumAbu Bashar
The language is always believed to play a central role in learning. No matter what the subject area, students assimilate new concepts when they listen, talk, read and write about what they are learning. Speaking and writing reflects the thinking process that is taking place. Students learn in language, therefore if their language is weak, so is their learning.
Teaching Listening Skills to English as a Foreign Language Students through E...ijtsrd
This paper discusses how to teach listening so that EFL learners can develop a level of listening ability that is useful in the real world, not just in the classroom. It asserts that if teachers know the processes involved in listening comprehension and some feature of spoken English, it can provide students with appropriate advice and effective listening practice. Conversation will take place when we can understand what speaker says. Listening is an important input. EFL students who are learning English face problems in listening due to anxiety and lack of strategies to deal with listening. This paper is intended to reduce listening difficulties and improve their listening skill effectively for EFL learning through effective strategies and skills. In this paper, some effective listening strategies, skills and the use of new techniques are presented. The main aim of this study is that it can be helpful to share and teach listening strategies to EFL learners as it can give more confidence to try new ways to enhance their listening skill.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Modes of integrating all four skills
1. MODES OF INTEGRATING ALL
FOUR SKILLS
Objectives:
• to familiarize students with course content
• to raise students’ awareness of the importance of skills integration in teaching
Lesson 24
2. Lead-in
• What are the language skills?
• What is the difference between receptive and
productive language skills?
• Are language skills used in isolation in real life
situations?
• Is it possible to teach language skills in integration? If
yes, how?
3. OPENING ACTIVITIES
Watch the following video segment and answer
the following questions:
̵ What topic is developed in this lesson?
̵ What activities are used in this lesson?
̵ How many language skills are worked in this
lesson?
4. OPENING ACTIVITIES
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. WHAT IS THE INTEGRATED SKILLS APPROACH?
A favorite image for teaching EFL is that of a tapestry, as it is woven from
many strands.
For the instructional circle to produce a large, strong, beautiful, colorful tapestry,
the just-mentioned strands must be interwoven in positive ways.
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.).
6. WHAT IS THE INTEGRATED SKILLS APPROACH?
Besides the four strands mentioned above, other important
strands exist in the tapestry.
Optimal EFL communication is present when all the skills are interwoven
during instruction.
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).
7. WHAT IS THE INTEGRATED SKILLS APPROACH?
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 language skills.
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. WHAT IS THE INTEGRATED SKILLS APPROACH?
INTEGRATED SKILL INSTRUCTION
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 sides of the same coin. Often one skill will reinforce
another.
Written and spoken language bear a relationship to each other.
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. HOW CAN TEACHERS INTEGRATE SKILLS IN A
BASIC WAY?
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. HOW CAN TEACHERS INTEGRATE SKILLS IN A
BASIC WAY?
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.
