& WRITING SKILLS.

WHAT ARE THE FOUR SKILLS?
Reading (comprehension skill)

Listening (comprehension skill)

Speaking (production skill)

Writing (production skill)

INTEGRATING GRAMMAR
WITH OTHER LANGUAGE SKILLS.
One ways in which integration of grammar with
the four skills can be achieved is :

By systematized mapping of the grammar
syllabus with a thematically-conceived series of
units.
In simpler words, it is basically teaching
grammar according to the correct sequence &
level.
e.g teaching present tense, then move on to past
tense & future tense. (sequence)
INTEGRATING GRAMMAR
WITH EACH LANGUAGE SKILLS
Each of the skills provide the content or
context for the practice of the grammar
rules besides they also contributes in
their own unique way to grammar
listening and speaking skills.

A) LISTENING & SPEAKING
Most grammar presentation and drills
are oral and therefore listening and
speaking are integral to the successful
learning of a grammatical pattern.

SONGS & NURSERY RHYMES

Songs are very popular in grammar
teaching for a number of reasons.

1) Interesting and relaxing

2) The beats of the songs aids memory

3) Contributes variety

4) Many songs have a lot of in-built
repetition of structures and this is good
for consolidation and internalization of
structures.

5) Integration of pronunciation, intonation,
stress & rhythm can be achieved.

Examples 1 :
Sing a song entitle If you happy and you know
it.

Example 2 :
Sing the song and do the actions.

Example 3 :
Listen to the song, and answer comprehension
questions
B) READING
Reading text can become rich contexts for
the practice of a variety of grammatical
form. When structural readers are used
for extensive reading, these can provide
the intensive practice necessary for the
internalization of grammar rules.
INTEGRATION OF GRAMMAR
IN READING
Using a text

Students read a passage which contains
examples of the new language (english), then
answer comprehension questions.

The questions focus on the new language
(english) being introduced, so that students
attention is drawn to it.
EXAMPLE

In a text, a students read a passage in a simple
past tense used to describe scenes and events,
then answer questions, thus getting plentiful
opportunities to practice that tense.
C) WRITING
Writing provides real and extended contexts
for the practice of specific grammar items.

Such as exercises as editing and creative
writing provide context for the sensitive used
of grammar in dynamic interaction with other
consideration in the communicative process.
INTEGRATION OF GRAMMAR
IN WRITING
Using personal experience

This kind of exercise is very good for getting
maximum output from minimum input.

Each sentences can be filled in a different
ways by pupils, that means that, the number
of opportunities to hear the correct form is
greatly increased in a class.
EXAMPLE :
Complete these statements as truthfully as
you can :

1) The first thing I do when I get up in the
morning is

2) As soon as I realize another person is angry
with me, I
