Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)
Silent Way
Audiolingual Method
Grammar-Translation Method
3
How does integrating skills align with the principles of constructivism?
It emphasizes active, meaningful engagement with language
It discourages student autonomy
It focuses on passive reception of information
It promotes repetitive grammar drills
4
What does Oxford suggest about the relationship between listening and speaking?
Listening should always come after speaking
Speaking is more important than listening
They are closely connected and support each other
They should be taught separately
5
Which of the following is an example of an integrated-skills activity?
Silent reading with no discussion
A role-play involving speaking, listening, and writing
Dictation without follow-up exercises
Memorizing vocabulary lists
6
How can technology be strategically employed to facilitate skill integration?
By reinforcing skill isolation
By limiting interaction through automated testing
By incorporating multimedia resources that require multimodal engagement
By emphasizing traditional grammar exercises
7
Which of the following would be an example of integrating bottom-up and top-down processing in reading?
Reading aloud without comprehension questions
Using prior knowledge to predict content while decoding text details
Memorizing vocabulary lists before reading
Focusing exclusively on grammatical structures in a passage
8
Infer the potential drawback of skill integration in large, mixed-ability classrooms
Integrated instruction reduces engagement
Students learn at the same pace regardless of ability
Grammar instruction is prioritized over communication
Differentiation becomes challenging due to varying proficiency levels
9
Based on research on cognitive load, why is integrating skills more effective than teaching them in isolation?
It eliminates the need for explicit instruction
It prioritizes rote learning, which is essential for fluency
It reduces cognitive overload by contextualizing information
It allows learners to memorize structures more effectively
10
How does integrating skills align with Bloom’s Taxonomy?
It eliminates the need for evaluation
It simplifies cognitive engagement
It requires higher-order thinking by synthesizing multiple skills
It encourages rote memorization
11
Why is metacognitive awareness critical in an integrated skills classroom?
It limits students' ability to adapt their strategies
It encourages passive learning
It reduces the need for student reflection
It enables learners to monitor and regulate their language use
12
What is the primary pedagogical justification for integrating skills in language teaching?
It ensures equal development of all skills at the same rate
It allows for faster vocabulary acquisition
It mirrors authentic language use in communicative contexts
It simplifies lesson planning for instructors
13
What is one way to integrate listening and writing in the EFL classroom?
Having students write a summary after listening to a passage
Assigning only grammar exercises
Asking students to read a text silently
Encouraging memorization of dialogues
14
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of integrating skills?

15
What does the integrated-skills approach emphasize in EFL teaching?
Focusing on grammar only
Avoiding interaction in the classroom
Isolating reading from other skills
Combining multiple language skills for communication
16
What underlying principle of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory supports skill integration?
Cognition develops independently of social factors
Individual practice is more effective than collaboration
Skills should be taught in sequential order
Language learning occurs through social interaction and scaffolding
17
What is the key rationale for using project-based learning (PBL) in skill integration?
It discourages creativity in language learning
It minimizes student collaboration
It focuses on isolated skill development
It promotes authentic, purposeful language use across skills
18
According to Oxford, what is one key reason for integrating the four skills?
It makes assessment easier
It simplifies lesson planning
It mirrors real-world language use
It reduces the need for classroom interaction
19
In the context of assessment, why might a traditional standardized test fail to measure integrated skills effectively?
It prioritizes holistic performance over accuracy
It typically assesses discrete skills in isolation
It allows for more flexible responses
It encourages collaborative work
20
Infer why extensive reading is often recommended in skill-integrated curriculums.
