MAYORA PERNIA, Carlos Alberto. Theoretical and Pedagogical Bases of the Skills Integrated Approach in Foreign Language Teaching . Núcleo [online]. 2009, vol.21, n.26, pp.099-126. ISSN 0798-9784.
In the last two decades, specialized literature on Foreign Language (FL) teaching methodology has emphasized a paradigm shift regarding the way the four language skills are taught. This implies a shift from a segregationist perspective on the skills (each taught unconnectedly and in a fixed sequence) towards a more integrationist one (two or more skills integrated in realistic and meaningful tasks). The latter has been labeled as the skills-integrated approach. However, in many FL classrooms segregationist practices still seem to be dominant. This article proposes a first step towards solving the above mentioned disparity between theory and practice by briefly, yet systematically, describing the origins and main underlying bases of the approach. The author ends with a proposal on how this issue might be fur ther addressed through field research.
