 Type of Material in Listening skill:
• Conversation & Discussions (two or
more people such as at home, in
school
• Monologues (people telling their
stories, anecdotes, jokes etc.
Orientation:
Briefly introduce the topic of the text by asking the students a few simple general
question, by eliciting their own opinion. Tell the students what sort of passage they
are going to hear, whether a discussion, a dialogue or a monoloque. If they are not
given a precise purpose prior to listening, they will not know why they are to listen,
what they have to listen out for or what sort of listening to do. The task , largely
dependent on the type of passage and its content, include skimming, scanning, for
intensive, detailed comprehention, responding emotionally, giving an opinion about
the passage.
Tasks:
For a first listening the students may be given a few fairly straightforward pre-
question to help them establish some very basic facts (the number of speakers,
where they are). Tasks such as information-transfer, true/false questions, picture-
sequencing, sentences-sequencing etc.
Follow-up work:
A lot of useful extension work is possible: focusing on recurrent structures or
fuctions for remedial practice, listening for features of textual organisation (for
instance, logical connectors), doing an oral and/or written reconstruction of part of
the passage.
If students use English at all after they leave school, it may well
be in reading, as they study textbooks written in English in their
further education Programme, or read newspapers, magazines
and periodicals, for example, to keep themselves up to date in
their job fields, current affairs, social issues, entertainment etc.
Also, if students never look at, say or hear another word of
English after they leave school, learning to read in English well
nevertheless equip them with reading skills which they can
transfer to their own language. Furthermore, students who learn
to enjoy reading in English may become more motivated to learn
English in general.
• One criterion for text choice is
interest.
• A second criterion is authenticity of
language.
• A third criterion for text selection is
variety of format, register and textual
organization.
 Understanding the relationship between sentences and clauses ;
The relationship between sentences and clauses in a text may be expressed
through two kinds of sentence-joining device. These are logical connectors and
reference devices. Logical connectors are the conjunctions and adverbs placed
between sentences and clauses to show their relationship.
 Skimming for gist

This skill involves skimming over the ‘ surface ‘ of a piece of writing to


understand its general content or gist. It is the kind of reading we do when, for
example, we glance over page of a newspaper to see if there is anything worth
reading in grater detail, or when we leaf through a book to find out its subject
matter.
 Scanning for specific information
This skill therefore also involves the ability to reject or pass over irrelevant
information. It is the kind of reading we do when, for example, we read through
someone’s biography to find out the date of their marriage or the name of their
spouse, or when we glance through a telephone directory looking for a
particular person’s telephone number.
In comparing these two stretches of English
language, it may be useful to group features under
four headings ;
• Grammatical and syntactic features
Syntax is transformed groups are more typical of
written version into a nominal group. Use of
grammatical cohesion devices in written English
because the reader is able to refer back with ease.
• Lexical features
The written version uses a more precise
vocabulary covering a smaller semantic field, because
the writer has more time to encode than the speaker.
• Organisational Features
composed written passage is a translation
of a stretch of spoken English, it does not
exemplify the organisational features of planned
piece of writing very well.
• Graphic or visual features
The visual features of spoken language are
facial expression, gestures, body movements
and proximity. There are other suprasegmental
features such as voice quality, intonation,
stress, pause.
We can analyze the specific skills attached o
writing under five headings;
• Graphical or visual skills
writing graphemes, this is likely to pose a difficulty only
to students whose first language is written in a different
alphabet.
spelling, students may often apply the phonetic
conventions of their native language to spelling English
words.
punctuation and capitalization, here students attention
needs to be drawn to the fact that conventions differ from
language to language.
Format, such as the layout of a letter, or a shopping list
again these differ from one language to another.
• Grammatical skills

the refers to the students ability to successfully of


sentence patterns and constructions.
• Expressive or stylistic skills

this refers to the students’ ability to express precise


meanings in a variety of styles or registers, the students’ reading
experience will probably have a strong influence on their
success with this skills.
• Rhetorical skills

this students’ ability to use linguistics cohesion devices-


connectives, reference words, elipsis, and so on-in order to link
parts of a text into logically related sequences.
• Organizational skills
these are similar to those involved in
Rhetorical skills
Above, but here were concerned with the
organization pieces of information into
paragraphs and texts.
3. Weaknesses in current approaches

 The greatest weakness, however, shows itself


most clearly in note taking(thought related
weakness apply also to summary and
composition. Notes should do likewise-draw
out the central topic, relate all its aspect to it
and toe ach other. In term of their layout , the
notes should look something like this
4. Text –types
Of the text types mentioned above,
narrative, biography, instruction and
process are chronologically
sequenced. Of these, narrative and
biography are closely related because
they both contain a sequence of
events.
There are two types of notes-those
drawn from a text , and those in
preparation for a text. The process of
drawing notes from a text I shall call note-
taking ; the process of preparing notes to
be expanded into a text I shall call note-
making, also this is an important
distinction.
 Firstly, the close relationship between the three types
of task(note –taking /making , summary and
composition) should be recognized in terms of an
input-output system.
 Secondly, we should teach our students to function in
a variety of ways, not just one.
 lastly we need to each both how to take notes from a
text and how to make notes in preparation for a new
text, and in the case of summary.
WHAT ARE INTEGRATED
SKILLS?

The integration of skills in the language


classroom can be defined quite simply as a
series of activities or tasks which use any
combination of the four skills, such as Listening
(L), Speaking (S), Reading (R), Writing (W).
Activity Skills Practiced
1. T introduces topic-’Animals’. T asks Ss prepared S, L
questions to elicit what they know about lions e.g. Where
do lions live?, what do they eat?, How long do they live?
2. Ss read short descriptive passage on lions to check/find R
out the answer to question in 1.
3. Ss compare how many answers they got right in 1, and S, L
how much information was new to them.
4. Ss work in pairs and choose another animal. They discuss S, W
and make notes in answer to a set of questions e.g. Where
does it live?, What does it eat?.
5. Ss write short descriptive passage on animal they have W
chosen based on the information in their notes and using the
original passage on lion as a model.
Why Integrate the skills?

There are two main reasons for devising activity


sequences which integrate the skills.
 The first is to practice and extend the students’ use of a
particular language structure or function.
 The second is to develop students’ ability In two or
more of the four skills within a constant context.
There are a number 0f important advantages in
providing students with the kind of integrted skills
practice I have describe.

 Continuity
 Input before output
 Realism
 Appropriateness
 Variety
 Recycling
 Confidence
