Abstract

A striking debate has arisen shortly on the discrimination of teaching language skills discretely or teaching them co-operatively. Integration of the skills are The concern of this study is to identify and exhibit the differences between teaching reading in a discrete skill program, in which reading is taught separately and traditionally, and in an integrated skills program, in which reading is taught in an integrated manner. Differing from the previous studies on the same topic in the field, integration has been assessed from different perspectives, which has given rise to a new categorization of skills: grammatical integration, functional integration, and thematic integration. A few course books have been surveyed to pinpoint to what extent integration takes place in them. And this new model of evaluation is underpinned throughout the study

DİĞER BECERiLERİN OKUMA BECERiSiNE ENTEGRASYONUNDA YENi BiR YAKLAŞIM

Abstract

Son zamanlarda dil becerilerinin birlik içerisinde veya ayrı ayrı öğretilmesinin ayrımı üzerinde çarpıcı tartışmalar yapılmaktadır. Dil becerilerinin öğretilmesi kapsamlı ve karmaşık bir konudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı okuma becerisinin tek başına yani geleneksel bir biçimde öğretildiği bir program ile okuma becerisinin diğer becerilerle entegre edilerek öğretildiği bir program arasındaki farklılıkları teşhis etmek ve gözler önüne sermektir. Bu konuda yapılmış daha önceki çalışmalardan farklı olarak, becerilerin entegre edilmesi değişik bir bakış açısından değerlendirilmiş ve bu da becerilerin entegre edilmesinde eksik olan yeni bir kategorinin ortaya çıkmasına yol açmıştır. Ve çalışma boyunca bu yeni değerlendirme biçimi desteklenmiştir
