| Integrating
skills |
This
is when we do a sequence of exercises with our students using
different skills, transferring information from one skill to
another.
Example:
- Identifying the key words in a reading text about the
climate of North America.
- Using the key words to write a summary of the text.
- In pairs, asking and answering questions about the
climate of North America.
- Listening to a tape of a person talking about the
climate of North America and identifying the new
information in the tape, compared with the reading text.
This sequence of activities integrates all four skills of
reading, writing, speaking and listening.
