THE INTEGRATION OF LANGUAGE LEARNING SKILLS IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Аннотация:

Effective communication is essential in today's interconnected world, making the mastery of English as a second language (ESL) a critical skill. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating the four core language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—into ESL instruction to enhance learners' communicative competence. This paper reviews existing research, identifies challenges faced by language teachers, especially non-native speakers, and offers practical solutions for implementing integrative teaching methods. The findings suggest that integrated skill instruction promotes active learning, improves all-round proficiency, and prepares students for effective communication beyond the classroom.
