When this topic is brought into discussion, I usually remeber the way I learnt English which focused primiraly on reading and writing.However, teachers talked, so we listened, and we responded, so we spoke the language .
Personally, I think the integrated skills are always evident , the difference is the way we tackle them during the teaching-learning situation.
Reading the "Integrated Skills " through the link
http://www.cal.org/resources/Digest/0105oxford.html
by the end this week I learnt how important it is to have the experience of this course to enrich the classroom setting with natural reference to language through the web.
The writer, Rebecca Oxfored also highlights the importance of classroom setting.Having the chance to be attend some of the "Shaping the way we teach English " workshops in Jordan and googling the topic, I would like to share the group with the links:
1. http://iteslj.org/Lessons/Pegrum-OutsideWorld.html
in which the writer highlights that English language teaching may extend beyond the classroom , especially with all the technology tools like , TVs, e-mails, surfing the internet ...(Mark A. Pegrum).
2. http://iteslj.org/Techniques/Kelly-Authentic.html
with the rich on-line resources cited by Charles Kelly.

Hi dear Hanan,
Thanks a lot for sharing these sites with us. I visited both of them and I see there are many resources there for teachers. I like so much the suggested activities (in the first link) that can be used for different levels. The article in the second link also helps us adapt the activities in the first link. These activities also help students learn English with a purpose.
Khuloud.
Dear Khuloud :
My pleasure
Keep on touch
Yours
Hanan
