Module teaching and integrating language skills lesson 1

Conditions For Language Learning

Exposure to a rich but comprehensible input of real spoken and written language in use

Use of do things (i.e. exchange meanings)

Instruction in language (i.e. chances to focus on form)

Motivation to listen to and read the language and to speak and write it (i.e. to process and use the exposure)

Essential and desirable conditions for language learning
Integrating the four skills emphasizes the focus on realistic language and can therefore lead to the students’ all-round development of communicative competence in English.
