Teaching Integrated Skills in EFL/ESL Classroom

            Very often we find EFL/ESL class in Junior or Senior High School is taught by the teacher in separation skill. In making lesson plan, the teacher only focus on a skill in each meeting. Moreover, they always use teaching media which include another skill to understand it. For example, the teacher asks students to watch video or read some articles to be told in front of the class. We know that the teacher wants to focus on students’ speaking skill but they forget that watching video need students’ listening skill and read some articles needs their reading skill. In this part, the teachers need to be aware of teaching integrated skill so that all students’ language skills will be cared.

            In this occasion, I will give an idea about teaching and learning media that can be used for teachers to improve students interest and pay big attention to students’ integrated skill indirectly. We can use “Videoscribe”. Videoscribe is one of application to make an interesting “board” video. We can include voices to support the written in the board explanation. This is a tutorial how to use Videoscribe. (Sparkol Videoscribe Tutorial)
