The focus in this module is on Integrating Skills. We usually talk about four primary language skills: receptive skills, listening and reading; and, productive skills, speaking and writing. There are also sub-skills, which are a necessary foundation for the four primary skills: grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and non-verbal skills. In this module, we will look at some real classroom examples of integrating skills, using one or more graphic organizers for analysis.
The focus in Module 3 has been on Integrating Skills. As a follow up, you could make a more in-depth comparison and contrast of classes A and B. What were some similarities in the use of integrated skills? What were some of the differences? How might the activities, lessons, or resources be further extended? What aspects could you apply to your own classes?
